    It’s always felt a bit strange that long tactical sequences always seem to be what amazes people in chess, when games like this exist. No overlooked mind boggling sacrifices or anything, just Karpov masterfully maneuvering his pieces leaving his opponent absolutely helpless like it was magic.

    The best chess series by far. I love watching the classic games. Can learn so much from them.

    Hey Andras, thanks for the video. I had a vid idea that I think could be super useful for a lot of people. Sometimes in your vids, you explain common development ideas for certain openings and what their "ideal" squares are (iirc King's Indian Attack comes to mind from one of your vids). I think it could be useful to do that, rapid fire, for a bunch of openings, as like a compilation of summaries of openings. Granted, it doesn't do each opening justice, but may accelerate learning for a lot of players, serve as a reference, etc. .

    I thought I had seen that Ra2 maneuver before and sure enough Johan Hellsten gives a similar example in Mastering Chess Strategy M. Yudovich vs. K. Klaman, Leningrad 1947 22. Ra2 when black can't take and bring another major piece to the A file. Hellsten also gives Y. Gruenfeld vs. Y. Kraidman, Gausdal 1982 22. Ba7!. Loving the book, thanks for recommending it!

    Coach Andras, thank you for explaining this game! I'm having trouble understanding 27. Bb1. Trying to justify it, I see that it connects the a2 rook and queen and gives the queen more space to move along the 2nd rank. Is there more to the move than this?

    The fact that I'm only 500 rated, but I regularly keep on finding these moves in master games makes me happy about my ability to learn chess and become pretty decent one day. Immediatly before he had even mentioned that you actually can contest the bishop on a7 at 10:56 I saw you can move the knight to a5.

    Hi, maybe Karpov had planned 24... Qc7 25.Qe3, defending the a7 bishop?

    At 18:51 why can’t black play …Ra8 to stop the rook from coming in?

    • @xtaf82
      @xtaf82 Год назад +1

      Is it because of something like 1…Ra8 2. Bxc7 Rxa3 3. Bxd6+

    • @robertchung6154
      @robertchung6154 Год назад +2

      1...Ra8 2. Rxa8 Nxa8 3. Bxd8 wins a free piece

      It’s actually easier to learn since it doesn’t requires too much calculation. I play chess to relax so this style of chess suits me well

    Unzicker sounds like a Nazi death camp commandant's name. Idk why but that is the thought that came in my head when you elaborated a bit on the names German origins

    What does "Thy Classics" mean? I'm not a native English speaker, thanks.

    • @ChessCoachAndras
      @ChessCoachAndras  Год назад +1

      Thy is an old English word that stands for "yours".
