And then you learned about Paul Morphy the legend himself and thought he makes Karpov look like a noob, not to disrespect Karpov but Paul Morphy is just a legend.
Karpov was a bit past his prime when he began playing Kasparov who is 12 years younger. It would have been nice to see them play each other at their peak.
@@karinaa5558 Kasparov is definitely better overall lasted longer too, but Karpov was great tactically for a while. He definitely was in the great shadow of Kasparov! That also helps to explain why he was missed by many as far as Chess greatness goes. Thanks.
Sorry, this is a bit long: In the beginning of 1981 there were a total of twelve World Champions in history up to that time: Karpov, Fischer, Spassky, Petrosian, Botvinnik, Tal, Smyslov, Euwe, Alekhine, Capablanca, Lasker, and Steinitz. Eight were alive, but there were also three others living that would eventually win the title: Kasparov, Kramnik, and Anand, making the total number of living World Champions (past, present, and future) eleven. Euwe died in November of that year. The youngest of that group, Kramnik, was born in June 1975, so for those six-plus years, there were eleven World Champions alive at the same time. From what I can tell, that was the most living at one time. Before Alekhine died, he was one of eight past, present, or future champions living. Steinitz, the first deceased World Champion, died in August 1900. When he died, Lasker reigned, Capablanca was 11, Alekhine was 7, and that was it. When Steinitz won the championship, he and Lasker were the only champions yet alive. Currently, we've got Carlsen, Anand, Kramnik, Kasparov, Karpov, and Spassky still alive. And who knows how many future World Champions are with us right now.
If you include the FIDE world champions from the early 2000s, you will get additional WCs. Maybe 4 more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship. With all the teen age GMs we have, we may have a few more in the new future. We would have had several more but for the dominance of Carlsen and Kasparov.
There is another world champion alive right now, though not a champion yet. With Magnus' decision to not defend his title, either Ding or Ian will become the next chess WC. We'll have to wait for 2023.
I met him in 2011 and then spoke to him a few years later on the phone when he was in Las Vegas as he agreed to be interviewed for a book I was planning to write about him. He is an absolute gentleman and one of the best positional players of all time. I hope he will be OK.
There are multiple conflicting reports regarding his coma. His daughter reports a fall in his home, some other report indicates Karpov fell down unconscious after being intoxicated as he had high blood alcohol level on medical examinations and again, another report said he was found unconscious near the Russian parliament resulting from assault
he is basically drunk and fell off bad. Nice example. Nice morale. Imagine a 71 years old ex world champ, deputy in Duma, being just an average alcolized russian loser. Nice example! well done!
@@ED-yy4te yeah pure coincidence that russians who're famous in the west seem to die or become grievously ill just when it suites the west that russians and russia be not cast in a friendly relatable light. Chess is a peaceful friendly game among civilized people, and thats the exact opposite of how the western ptb want russians percieved by westerners, so Karpov had to be shutdown.

Thanks for that beautiful game! I have long loved Karpov's beautiful positional masterpieces. And here we have a beautiful attacking masterpiece--but an attack growing out of sound positional ideas.
One of my greatest regrets for the chess world is that we never got to see a match between Fischer and Karpov. I am convinced it would have been epic! P.S. Please get well soon Anatoly!
Out of ten games Fischer wins 4, Karpov wins 3, and they draw 3. Fischer's attacking ability makes him better than Karpov. Maggie is proud of us all. Carlsen would not be where he is today without the rest of us.
True. Kasparov is more exciting and entertaining in his style. While Karpov, according to himself, had no style. Which is another aspect of his game that shows how great he was, an all around great champion. I love this following quote for him, one day I'll have it framed and hanged in my man cave : ) "If the opponent offers keen play I don’t object; but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic." This quote is so like him as it's not the most famous even though it's more meaningful and profound than most.
I do hope Karpov will recover! Many forget Karpov as the greatest chess player of all time, but remember Karpov is 12 years older than Kasparov, and his record towards Kasparov is only -1 considering all the games they played against each other
I started playing chess watching the games of Misha, Ivanchuk! But I feel in love with the game by watching the games of Karpov, Anand, Carlsen, and Anish Giri!
Karpov is a chess giant and one of the best people I've heard speak. Nothing but respect for the glorious man and I hope he ends up alright. The world cannot lose the great Karpov.
I was lucky to have a private conversation with Anatoly, he was a very nice polite and witty person, he certainly did not drink to excess, in fact at the end of a tournament he would drink 2 glasses of red wine, so the story of alcohol poisoning is surely false. I wish for him to make a quick and full recovery.
I was able to see the winning pawn push near the end but as usual I could not find the continuation. It is fun in any case to watch two genius level chess players weave a masterpiece.
Anatoly Karpov beyond being a chess champion is also a current elected member of the Russian duma and said the Russian-Ukrainian war should end soon in April 2022. Please support his recovery.
What's that to do with his accident? Or are you implying the Russians would attack one of their Idols? Karpov is a national treasure, adored by plenty of Russians. Russians would never ever attack their chess players over politics 🙄 that's mental, unthinkable nonsense. And as far as I know the Duma just voted unanimously over the ascension of the territories. The Duma is united there are no ploys and schemes at this moment. Once the Duma is united behind a cause No Russian engages in any Shenanigans any more till the cause is resolved. Them Rules are them Rules.
he wants the end for the good of russia as there is no point for russia to keep going except the hypocrisy of western countries part justification wise. He said we should fight ukraine before the war started if im not mistaken so don't talk politics just to talk politics.
@@osterlaich6395 idk if he implied that russians attacked him physically over politics, i think he just meant that karpov has a weight in this war and can make it end sooner (somehow? i guess it's how i understood his comment)
Karpov remains my favourite chess player. His style of chess expression is the seed that gave us Magnus Carlsen. Capablanca to Karpov to Carlsen.... An awesome lineage and evolution of positional mastery in chess. Wishing him a quick recovery.
Tal was karpov second for the World championship 75 and 78 this why they learned from each other. Of course tal learned more from karpov which helped him to reach his peak rating although he was a little bit old.
Karpov is my favorite chess player of all time. I highly suggest watching the interview documentary in Russian. He discusses his journey learning chess in his youth and an intimate look into his personal life. It’s very interesting!
Most peopel sleep on Soassky because after 2974 he bame lazy and dropped his level and fitness and so he tarnished his name, but in 1960s and up to 1974 or a lottle later he was great.
I never went to those great tournaments in Holland (I am Dutch). Such a missed opportunity. I wish Mr Karpov well, a giant in chess and a gentleman above all.

As a kid, I always marveled at Karpov. Then I realized that there was also a Kasparov! Then I saw a Karpov vs Kasparov! Mind blown!!!!
I had the same confusion about their names! Until someone mentioned them both in the same sentence I thought I was just mishearing the names😅
And then you learned about Paul Morphy the legend himself and thought he makes Karpov look like a noob, not to disrespect Karpov but Paul Morphy is just a legend.

Who do you prefer?? Karpov or Kasparov

It's pretty well understood he was a world champ.
For me the second best player of all time after Kasparov. Made very few mistakes and the winner of over 160 chess tournaments
Love the quote this week. Tf was my first champ I ever played back in 2012

I am not a smart man as Forrest Gump said. No good at chess. For some strange reason I enjoy watching it.
Watching karpov's moves gives happiness to mind. He was one of greatest pillars of chess
I have never imagined that I would see a quote from Twisted Fate in Agadmator's channel 😂

Also Fischer wanted to play 1974 olympiad but tournament did not allow him to compete.

Karpov is a chess giant and one of the best people I've heard speak. Nothing but respect for the glorious man and I hope he ends up alright. The world cannot lose the great Karpov.
Yeah we can. He is partly to blame for what happened in Ukraine as he is a Duma member who voted in favor of invading
Memento Mori
You should review more Spassky's games from his prime, he is so underrated. One of the most gifted players ever.
I was lucky to have a private conversation with Anatoly, he was a very nice polite and witty person, he certainly did not drink to excess, in fact at the end of a tournament he would drink 2 glasses of red wine, so the story of alcohol poisoning is surely false. I wish for him to make a quick and full recovery.
When asked who was going to be world champion in the Karpov-Kasparov match. Boris Spassky just said: the winner would be Ka-ov.
Haha !
Karpov was an artist on the chessboard..
I just noticed the quote is by TF from League, nice touch
Yeah. Karpov was utterly dominant in this period. Sad to hear about his health problems.
I was able to see the winning pawn push near the end but as usual I could not find the continuation.

Yes, so sad.
As a kind I was on the side of Kasparov but the more I saw the game the more I liked Karpov. He is genuinely one of my favorites players ever
I rarely share, much more than thanks. But I would have to concentrate on 1000 of these games to play again.
I hope he's doin OK, Karpov is a legend.
I do like the time stamps, in the description. However, the notation is incorrect. Just a heads up :)
The chess world lost a possible greatest time with KARPOV V FISCHER
I can only imagine, God speed Karpov!
Also a potential Fischer vs Kasparov if Fischer retained his title(the more likely outcome) and also decided to play Kasparov…
Also Fischer also wanted to play 1974 Olympiad but tournament did not allow him to compete
Fischer wpuld logically continue improving and reach his peak in second half of 1970s
Best guy you quoted by far
Shoutout for using a League of Legends quote :)
It's so anti-intuitive to not only have to decline taking the bishop, but also allow Qa1+.
Karpov remains my favourite chess player. His style of chess expression is the seed that gave us Magnus Carlsen. Capablanca to Karpov to Carlsen.... An awesome lineage and evolution of positional mastery in chess.
Wishing him a quick recovery.
Capablanca to Karpov? What about Vasily Smyslov?
Wonderful game between two titans.

"Now look at this" Jersey coming soon
Wow, I got both of the pause-the-video moves. But I don't think I could have played with enough precision to win take advantage of them.
Karpov destroying 3 year old Misha is the best chess content on RUclips I recommend looking it up
OMG!!! LOL
Really enjoyable game by two Chess greats, with non stop attacks and counterattacks,
Great game, thks
Took me a year to realize the Twisted Fate quote 😂😂
It would be great to do a Karpov saga, i'd say!
Please consider flipping the board when the pause moment is for black to move. It’s hard to think as black when we see the board as white. Thanks
Wishing Karpov a speedy and complete recovery. Hope Garry sent him a message.
i am sure he will ...
Regarding the solution for next Karpov move is: Re5
Appreciate your sensitive treatment of that. Good choice of game too. Thank you.
Karpov is my favorite chess player of all time. I highly suggest watching the interview documentary in Russian. He discusses his journey learning chess in his youth and an intimate look into his personal life. It’s very interesting!
I always sleep on Spassky because the first of his games I ever watched were against Fischer which sort of blunts how good Spassky really is
Agreed! We forget how important the psychological element is in a high level series. You get a better sense of a player in regular competition games.
Most peopel sleep on Soassky because after 2974 he bame lazy and dropped his level and fitness and so he tarnished his name, but in 1960s and up to 1974 or a lottle later he was great.
Karpov won the most tournaments in chess history.
Over 160, an incredible record!
I just commented somewhere that if Karpov were an opening he would be the Keres attack.
I never went to those great tournaments in Holland (I am Dutch). Such a missed opportunity. I wish Mr Karpov well, a giant in chess and a gentleman above all.
