The 12th World Champion! International grandmaster! Merited Master of Sport of the USSR! Anatoly Karpov!!!
Why do i hear boss music?
he better be .... misha is no joke
@Ashikur Rahman Rifat 🥶🥶🥶
@Leonhard Euler EULAAAAAAAA
Mommy!!!
I agree with Karpov that championship matches should not be decided by rapids and blitz games.
Yes, you shouldn't play rapid and blitz to decide who is the world classical champion. Same way you don't play classical to decide who is world rapids or blitz champion.
@@MrTVx99 Agreed
100%
But by what?
@Jigov he was amazing at all forms of chess
he was one of strongest chess players of all time..but still underrated
who,dear?! Karpov underrated?! You are next chess illiterate...read more! All is written...
@@antiprofan that's right .. on many forums who do you think is the best of the best they mostly say alekhin kasparov carlsen .. few say karpov ..
@@Anonim-tt6zo well obviously Karpov isn't the best of the best. He was absolutely marginally inferior than Kasparov at least.
Karpov is top 5 undoubtably and arguably top 3. However frequently if you attempt to argue karpov over fischer you will be summarily dismissed. Kasparov and magnus being the greatest clearly but closely.
@@Anonim-tt6zo Capa is the best)))
Innovative genius like Karpov won't be seen again.
I don't think so! What about Magnus Carlsen?
@@MusikPiratCH Yeah why are people quick to discount Carlsen's achievements, in terms of raw ability he's likely the best player in all of history. (Not that players in the past aren't legendary, but as theory advances, the players continue to get better and better.)
@@ryanflanagan9624 Reminder to take your meds.
Karpov is defeated by a 13 year old Carlsen.
Kasparov defeated him 4 times in 5 years.
Anatoly Karpov looks like an ancient Japanese man of Wisdom. Shifu Karpov.
Karpov-sensei :D
@Daniel H really?
@@viola308 he's Russian
I batted away this impression! Thanks for laying it down!
So many things wrong with your statement

God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore amen God bless amen :) :)
What a classy, brilliant, humble champion. Such a delight, I could listen to Mr. Karpov for hours.
I agree.
I believe that when Kasparov got himself arrested on a demonstration in Russia and was briefly held in jail, Karpov took the time to visit him.
@Steve Yes, he did. The guards didn't let him in, but he paid them to have some chess magazines given to Garry. Kasparov later said something along the lines that this one gesture from someone who was his opponent meant to him more than all the no-reaction from his supposed friends (somewhat hard to translate word by word from Russian) and from then on Karpov and Kasparov are on real friendly terms
Karpov was always an admirer of Kasparov. Even the world championship of 1985, saw him openly praising the young challenger. A gentleman through and through. When Kasparov won, he was the first to congratulate him. Karpov himself never got his deserved WC match with Bobby but did have the humble attitude to except change when change was due. One of my all time favs Anatoly.
kasparov was shocked twice. when Karpov visisted him, and when no body of kaspsrov visited him . what a paradox
I heard Kasparov once saying that while he was in hospital, Anatoly sent him a book as a present.
Highest rated jailhouse game of all time
Capablanca being his biggest influence...Thumbs up!
Yes, and it makes sense because they have similar style
Genius Karpov so humble.
He has a thin voice, it's kinda like meh meh mehhhh
Best chess interview of all time because Ms. Sachdev asked open ended questions and never interrupted the answers. I hope she becomes an interviewer of American politicians.
so , you want her to go into politics and interview Bill Clinton, the patriarch of the Democrats.
Bill would enjoy it.
Interviewers interrupt politicians just when they notice the polits start talking bullshit. . .
She is a IM herself
Brilliant...and so true!
@@humblefool She's a GM I think 2450 or something
Genius. Belgrad, hotel Moskva September 1973. What a nice person. Had happiness to play with him. Of course lost after 13 moves!!!
Whata Gentleman! there is so many still today who have so much to learn from him...

@@ryanflanagan9624 Are you a bot?
Wonderful interview. Thanks to Gibchess for bringing it. Karpov remains level-headed and never tries to re-write history. At the board he had total belief in himself, but away from the board, he remains, with Anand, among the humblest and most honest of champions.
Do not forget about kramnik
@@Itachi3040 Except in analysis of his own games, where he's always better, lol, a common GM response.
He evaded many questions.
Karpov is so honest. Even when the Russians asked him, "Can you guarantee to beat Fischer?" he could have easily lied and said yes. However, he said, "How can I guarantee? In sport, nothing is guaranteed." Great honesty and objective analysis of his strength.
I don't know if Karpov would have beat Fischer, but one thing I do know is that they would have produced some beautiful games together.
Very well said.!
Karpov is precious !
I agree 100% with Karpov! The Classical World Chess Championship should be 16 games! NO LESS!
Very good interview. Karpov deserves his place at the top table of chess players. At the peak of his powers he won tournament after tournament.
I love how Karpov said he wanted to play Fischer even though he was the WC by default. This is the same reason Spassky agreed to Fiscer's terms even though he could have just won by default. For the chess players who truely love the game it's not about a title or a match. It's about their love of the game and the competition.
That was indeed very important from him to face Fischer on the board, because for me, he was never world champion, but FIDE champion like he was later in 1993
But karpov refused to play Fischer thoughh sooooo..
@@matheo1231 IIRC It was Fischer who refused to play Karpov.
@@sadboitimes9012 He offered fairer conditions than the 24 games conditions. His were fairer… And no Karpov was to scared to play Fischer obviously or Else he would play..
Yes, i'll always appreciate what Spasky did, altough i think that because of all Fischer complains he lost.
Who could think that Karpov likes blitz and was still stronger than Karjakin a few years ago !... Definitely a great Champion
kasparov will smash him easily
@@centralprocessingunit2564 evidence?
Magnus Carlsen G O A T When you look at their scores against each other, You'll see that they are almost equal. Kasparov is a little bit better i guess.. But only "little". So, someone like Karpov won't really lose "easily" against Kaspy

Flawless interview by the Great Anatoly Karpov! Live long for the king!
Tania really does great/interesting interviews.
I preferred Karpov style to many other world champions. I could nearly always follow his games. He would defeat his opponents with quiet moves which, impressed me . And in that respect he was close to Capablanca in style.
She is such an amazing interviewer. Patient, Prepared and Polite. Thanks for bringing one of the greatest chess champion of all time.
To know that we have such a Chess legend that is still around to tell us his life story is amazing.
Karpov is undoubtedly one of the best players of all time , his best games are master pieces of strategy. A real genius of the game.
Anatoly has been my chess idol for a long time. He's been battling to get out of Fischer's shadow his entire career. Just once I'd like to see an interview where Fischer isn't brought up.
Karpov is one of my favorite players and such a gentleman. Tania Sachdev is possibly the most beautiful chess players to ever grace the board.
Not Hilda Acevedo García or her sister Merlina?
@@hyzercreek No, not even close
@@hyzercreek -All three are extremely beautiful! -And that's Russian speaking... ;)
Anatoly Karpov is still my favorite player. I learned so much from his games.
If Bobby had played Karpov in 1975, the chess world could have been very different. Karpov spent ten years after the declined match and transfer of title trying to prove himself creating some of the fiercest world champion chess ever. Today, world champions playing regularly is a common thing (Kasparov being the exception later in his career)
Thank you Anatoly. You are one of the best WChamps ever in my book.
Respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Shut up fischer is better
@@alexanderalekhinerobertjam4507
Fischer felt that Karpov was stronger and was afraid of him. The organizers agreed with all of Fischer's demands, except for keeping Fischer's championship with a score of 9-9. Karpov was obliged to win at least 10-8. What is this if not fear?
Humility is the most beautiful virtue. I admire people who are geniuses and at the same time very humble and have nothing to prove to anyone.
I have great respect for Anatoly. I called him in my youth the Chess Assassin! very stern and methodical!Legend!
He is not under-rated, he is in everyone's list of greatest of all times.
Not even close to underrated. He's pretty much top 5 ever.

According to the closed captions Anatoliy the Twelfth says "at the age of eleven I became a candidate _monster_ in Soviet Union..." Makes sense.
Steel cold Karpov :D
Now there are 11 year old IM's and 12 year old GM's. Times have changed, as ratings are being inflated and kids can train with 3300-rated computers nowadays. Btw, it's Candidate Master, not Candidate Monster. lol The closed captions were wrong. But you probably knew that.

Alright :)
Happy to see Karpov. One of the finest persons professionally and personally.
Excellent interview, many thanks to Mr. Karpov, Tania and GibChess.
What a gentleman. Love listening to Karpov
One of the coolest men alive.
Karpov is a Chad. His father used to make him dive in ice water during the winters to toughen him up. Every so often he still jumps in iced lakes to continue the tradition.
He also got his Private pilot license a few years back flies his own plane!
actually it is often to see such a thing in Russia (to dive in ice water), i am not sure that there is a word for this in english, but translator gave me "tempering"
listening to karpov gives me the same pleasure as watching tania !
Really?! ;-)
Karpov is saying after he became world champion he tried to play Fischer anyway but the Soviet authorities wanted him to guarantee he would win before sanctioning it.
This is bad for the chess world. I think the biggest tragedy in chess is Karpov never played Fischer.
There were a LOT of negotiations between Fischer and Karpov, Kasparov talks about them in his book on Fischer.
@@EGarrett01 yes right up to 1977, and even in 1981 Karpov challenged Fischer believing he could now guarantee a win, but by 81 Fischer had lost to his demons.
@@ricwhk Alekhine vs Botvinik for me. With Fischer vs Karpov close 2nd......
People like Karpov are real geniuses because they were young in a period where all this material that new players have (internet etc..) was not available. Now everyone is using 100 apps from the age of 3.
Karpov speaks English better than many Americans. He's a genius.
Im really not trying to offend the american guys out there , but every normal human from europe speaks a second langue very well
He also surely speaks Russian better than most Russians. Language is just a tool

Not really but I would wager he speaks better Russian than most Americans.
@@ryanflanagan9624 is this a copypasta?
Karpov has said many times lets play 24 classical games for the world title with the champion retaining the crown in the event of a draw and he is right!!
That's also what Kramnik said! :D
24 might be a bit too much today but I think 20 is perfect 👌🏾 first to 10pts wins no rapids and definitely no blitz
The problem would be the champion would go for a draw in all games.
The challenger would have to take risks.
@Ayanlie Salad Not at all. The chess fans were used to a 24 games match! I see no reason at all why this should be "too much today"?! :P
@Robinsinpost I also see NO problem in this. The challenger has to prove that he will be the new champion! There are even ways to attack without taking too much risk! (Carlsen has a video serie on this topic on chess24!) :D I call this "argument" invalid!
@@MusikPiratCH no his argument is totally valid...in that level of play if a player wants a draw from the onset he will get a draw... that's how the Berlin defense came back to life...it's a difficult topic but I guess maybe as Karpov suggested play until first to win or if a tiebreak is inevitable then the champion to have White and must win if draw Black wins the match or vice versa the Challenger to take White and if draws then loses the match...but it's still faulty as chess in perfection is always a draw
Definitely one of the greats that ever played. Thank you for this wonderful interview. I truly wished that Fischer would have played Karpov. Very sad that it never happened for all who love chess. Mr Karpov is a gentleman.
an excellent interview!! Karpov seems to be a very down to earth honest person.
Great KARPOV I always love his serenity and efficiency! Hope we'll see him again!
Legend himself ! Loved the interview
She is a great interviewer! Bravo!!
Karpov vs Kasparov - Karpov is my Man. Any day! ♥️
bravo!! he was ruthlessly systematic in decimating his opponents' play
This was such a wonderful interview!! Thank you so much Gibchess and Chess Base India.
karpov positional understanding is a class aprat, one of the greatest player to touch the chess board
Bullshit.....
@@barracuda7018 go to hell, a fool would question karpov's might
*Anatoly* The Constrictor *Karpov* . The chess world should feel lucky to still have you around.
The most humble legend and known as Mr.Nice guy🥰THE BEST👍🏼
Congratulations on the wonderful, Miss Tania! And wishing Mr. Karpov every manner of good health and success for the years to come!
Great interview. Karpov is a top 5 goat in my opinion
Ivanchuk
Karpov did lose to two twins and he lost to Carlsen when Carlsen was a child (even though arguably Karpov was not in his prime at that time). He's a very good attacking player but top 5? I don't know
@@aspiknf bruh. Fischer magnus kasparov karpov however you want to order them that's top 4. You're literally taking games from 20 years past his prime.
@@Isaiah_McIntosh Hmm maybe Peter Leko, Kramnik, Capablanca, Morphy, Wesley So, Anand are all better than Karpov. When I say Capablanca and Morphy, I mean if those two were magically born in the same era as Karpov and had the same chess material to work on.
@@aspiknf Arran Vid that's an asinine comparison. Especially morphy. His era was so far removed that's its ludicrous to wonder if he could adapt. Prime leko and prime karpov were not the same strength simply analyze their games. Once you leave the opening there is a clear difference also leko never even won a world championship. I love leko he's one of my favourite players but no he doesn't make it to the goat conversations. Kramnik lacks the longevity of dominance that karpov had in his era as his prime was debatable between himself and anand but both strong candidates to round up the top 5 in my opinion. What's Wesley even doing there. In terms of objective chess maybe current Wesley is more computer accurate than the best karpov year, although I don't think that's true, but he hasn't accomplished anything and shouldn't be considered in goat conversations. In a similar way to Wesley let's take caruana and say we'll he's clearly objectively stronger than both fischer and kasparov if you analyze with an engine. He hasn't don't squat yet so he isn't in the debate or else we would just choose the most recent players.
Awesome interview, very well researched and a beautiful location chosen. Congrats to Tania and the crew this was a world class interview of the former World Champion!
Great interview.
And what a legend!
Anatoly Karpov and Boris Spassky, great players and true gentlemen of chess.
Spassky was a borderline idiot with his admiration of Fischer and letting him back into the match after Fischer was about to lose.
Such a shame Karpov vs. Fischer never happened. Very sad that Fischer’s personal demons prevented him from contributing more to the Chess world. Nevertheless, the gems of games he gave us are timeless and so insightful. I have so much respect for Karpov though, he’s always so humble and a good role model. He’s under-appreciated as a World Chess Champion!
Unfortunately Anatoly Karpov was often portrayed as the 'typical Russian' while Kasparov had to play the role of an anti-Russian. But in terms of human values Karpov is the much more pleasant personality. He is wearing the flag of Russia proudly without overdoing political idiotisms.
There was and is essential truth in what is considered "Fischer's demons"! The majoritiy of people have no clue how unfair and unknowing their assessment of Fischer and their image of him really is - as they are captured in a false perception or reality (politics and blah blah). Even at this point in time people still don't recognize what is going on, though Fischer talked about it many years back already, and not just him! But it's tough to handle the truth in a good way when you are completely alone with that. That's the tragic of Bobby's life. - The masses have no interest in truth, they are like a collective herd of Pavlovian dogs. Perhaps more eccentric and swaggering characters have a better chance of finding the truth, but they are not to be envied in this twisted fallen world
And now people are buying books by authors who write about Fischer and don't really know what they're talking about either. The image of Fischer has become a stupid, blind cliché that does justice neither to him nor to the reality of this world.
In a crazy world, a clear-sighted person is considered the craziest.
@@henryseidel5469 Well well not really. He was always the old Soviet sportsman, even under Putin. It took a Kasparov to be arrested to bring them together and wake up Karpov to be a little bit more critical. Kasparov just hated the way the Soviet dynamics worked behind closed doors and would prevent him to get his shot at the title.
@@bobbwc7011 Karpow is a true Russian, who sticks to his motherland. What is wrong about it ? He spends a lot of money for promoting chess schools for their young generation all over the country. He is simply a modest character - compared to extravagant Kasparov, who is always aiming at media effects.
Kasparov defeated Karpov and became champion. How did the Soviets prevent his success ? Cannot see any sense in your remark....
It wasn't personal demons, it was a basic flaw in Fischer's whole method. He couldn't balance chess with real life. Every other world champion could.
Humble man, genius player. Always admired him. My childhood chess hero. I had the honour of sharing a photo with him when he was in London for the world championship in 1989 (I guess) playing against kasparov at Sadler's Wells. 👍 ❤
Wow, I though initially the interviewer would be just another doll but she's terrific
No, she is not! She is divine 😍
He’s a chess icon, a great player and still an inspiration for many young chessplayers!
1975. after 3 years no playing ... Yes, Karpov had a good chance against Bobby ... what a pity! Imho, Karpov was a greatest positional player! And a great humble gentelman! Brilliant and genuine figure in chess history!
i dont think karpov would have done well against fischer
Great interview, thanks so much!
Excellent interview of a giant of chess.
personally, I think Karpov would win during that time, his game is Insanely solid.
Against Fischer?
No way
@@Alamyst2011 yes
Bro yes karpov one of them the most great players but everyone know fischer was a monster like the grandmaster words: he was like a stockfish
@@umutlannister1969 indeed.
Perhaps no one in the history of the game had his sense of positions. Absolute rock.
These guys all look so sweet considering they are ruthless warriors.
Ms. Sachdev is a top-notch interviewer... I'm so impressed, wish all interviewers, in all fields, were even half as good. She's natural, fast, on top, seemingly effortless, she keeps the conversation flowing fluidly, transitions seemlessly... a real professional. And a GM at that, eh? Bravo! GibChess is fortunate to have her helping.
Karpov and Kasparov are Great champions! A lot of respect!
Great interview to maybe my most admired chess player (which doesn't mean that he's been the best). His rivalry with Korchnoi first and then Kasparov was epic, the establishment vs the dissidents. Anyway I still remember those games played like true war battles. And the man... he was and is a great man, an admirable person.
Great inverview! Thank you!
Beautiful interview and astute interviewing...bravo
Karpov, my Hero🙏
Absolute legend. What a fantastic interview with one of the icons of the game.
The humblest world chess champion I've known. It is almost impossible to give a concrete, sincere answers to an on the spot questions while maintaining a foot on the ground. Top level players have a world of their own but Karpov just showed us how. He is among those few who knew that there is life besides chess. He is one of the greatest!
Greatest chess interview ever.
Huge fan .... thanks for the interview ... i would love to see more ... if you can get MR. Karpov to analyse some of the current games this would be awesome ... Thanks Tina love from Somaliland Africa
great interview
What a fantastic interview. Really very very well done.
I am happy that I had once to talk to him before our flight, as we were in the same plane from Moscow to Tjumen. He had a seat in the business class and his bag was a special leather one adapted to a chess board. I will never forget him.
Listen to some of these beautiful mind's. The soul get so relaxed. ☺
Such a humble nice man.
Great interview (as expected from Tania) and always excellent to hear from the great Karpov!
A true legend... Most of the games I analysed are Karpov's games. He had such deep positional understanding...
Just imagine Bobby and Karpov. Bobby's unorthodox creational wizardry against Karpov's suffocating positional mastery! My God what a war that would have been!!
There was nothing unorthodox or magical about Fischer's game. A lot of work, fine technique and a F***-ton of energy in every game.
The term unorthodox is probably better suited to Mikail Tal. If any term really summed up Fischer at the time it would be innovative. In fact, so innovative that the Russians were shocked by it
@nuwandalton and for the time period, many of his games were so brilliant as to be called "magical". Some of his games were even thought to be losing positions by those who analyzed the games at the time. They resulted in brilliant wins.
@@nuwandalton😉
Karpov, the George Harrison of Chess...I wish he was my grandpa. The chess world still weeps with you that Bobby never played in 1975.
who the fuq is george harrison
@@mustangw8ford415 A member of the band called The Beatles
@@aspiknf karpov can easily check mate that beatles guys, cause they r not a GM
@@mustangw8ford415 I know but what Chris Ordway meant is that Karpov's level of talent and skill in Chess is equivalent to George Harrison's level of talent and skill in singing and guitar playing and songwriting :-) plus they were both doing well at their professions at the same time (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) :-)
@@aspiknf Karpov cannot sing, I never seen him sing. He only play chess and with computer also. He beetle guy is very bad
Sir, you are one of my reasons why I started chess.
What a pleasure to see an interview with the great champion Karpov!
With Fischer, Kasparov, and now Magnus Carlsen people sometimes forget how insanely strong of a chess player Karpov was.
Karpov was a positional monster. Anything less than perfect play and he would find a way to make you suffer. He still is one of the best positional chess players of all time.
Fischer would have crushed him
True. In their first match, Karpov had Kasparov by the throat with a 5-0 advantage at one point.
@@Alamyst2011 Yeah but Fischer ran away because Fischer knew Karpov could beat him and he was scared of failure. It could have gone either way but we'll never know
@@AK47_414 Fischer was going increasingly insane and paranoid, and was already hard to get to play before he won the championship. I don't think his actions here can be fully pinned down to him being afraid of failure, though it probably was a factor. Also, once he achieved his goal of getting the title, all the motivation seemed to get sucked out of him.
Karpov became a very strong positional player and that is the result of his intensive preparations to defeat fischer. During those times, games and tons of variations of analysis were written down by his assistant to multiple large notebooks and this proves that karpov invested a large amount of time and energy in his preparations against Fischer
I agree, and reason enough for Fischer to decline. Karpov notes he could beat anyone given the degree of preparation he made in 75. Karpov then faced the same against Kasparov, which he wryly notes as the degree of support Kasparov had from modernising factions in the Soviet chess&state machine. Karpov is right to note Kasparov's emotionality as a weakness. I agree that had Kasparov lost in Seville, he would not have recovered psychologically to be able to mount a successful world championship challenge. What Kasparov did was repeat the Alekhine trick of wearing down his opponent.
@@a.m.armstrong8354 It was his emotionality allowing him to go beyond Karpowian positional play, and to achieve his infamous "paintings on the board", games which were simply pieces of art.
I can't believe that such a gentleman is an absolut, sheer grinding killer on the board.
The most gentlemanly of all the World Chess Champions.. in my opinion❤
There are so many things to take away from this interview....
But for my own humble input: Wonderfully filmed and well pointed questions and answers.
What an amazing dude the best GM
Great interview!
Perfect video,amazing
