I MEAN can you believe that someone just put out a video about 10 hours ago entitled:
"How Karpov Wins Without Calculating!"
Ok, I understand the principles of "slow accumulation of microscopic advantages" which is Karovs style. BUT to say that you don't need to calculate???
What he's saying is that you don't need to calculate tactics as Karpov plays for an airtight position, sort of like a fortress right from the opening.
Right, so when I tutor some 1200s I'll just tell them that they don't need to calculate and in a free years they will be GM. (or even the WCC) 🤣
