Chess strategy and Anatoly Karpov have been friends for many years and it’s time for us to start appreciating this special relationship. In this Chess lesson, we will continue to learn about middlegame strategy - among other things - and you will get an idea of what it is like to look at Chess through Karpov’s eyes.

Learn how to play Chess the right way from beginner to master level. National Master Robert Ramirez will take you up the pyramid by following a proven Chess training program he has been improving and implementing for over 10 years.
Benefits of Playing Chess:
- Promotes brain growth
- Increases problem-solving skills
- It exercises both sides of the brain
- Raises your IQ
- Sparks your creativity
- Teaches planning and foresight
- Teaches patience and concentration
- Optimizes memory improvement
- Improves recovery from stroke or disability
- Helps treat ADHD
Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battlefield.
Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant -especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.
We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent's mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

Karpov - What a legend! His book Karpov On Karpov is great. Also Mr Ramirez, sir, you are an awesome teacher!
Thank you! I will check this book out by the way 👍
@Qixuan Liang The consensus is that maintaining a healthy body enhances the brains functions and enhances the ability to be in top form during chess. Karpov himself stands out as an exception to this idea. In his memoirs (Karpov on Karpov) he explains how he was sickly and frail throughout the many phases of his career. It’s actually a spectacular success story and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Karpov is a wonderful author and story teller. Karpov on Karpov also has a few pages of interesting photos of Karpov depicting him in his personal life. Well anyway, Karpov truly has become one of my favorite chess players of all time. I love studying Karpovs games because of the subtle nuance of Karpovs moves, how he shuts down the opposition with such subtle ideas at times. Karpov has his own unique style for sure, even beginning chess players can enjoy Karpov games and be exposed to the elements of defensive strategy that Karpov has given us through his play.
😬😄✌️
Amazing. This guy keeps you glued to a 37 minute chess lesson and makes you finish all pumped up (doesn't sound like chess). The first examples are great, but winning a quick game against a higher rated opponent is epic.
This type of thinking one must master to get to the next level. It is understanding subtleties like this that give one an edge .
Simply phenomenal.
Excellent work by all means. Thank you, master Ramirez!
Hello! You are more than welcome 👍 Thank you for your kind words 🙌
National Master Ramirez, I am so glad to have found & subbed to your channel. What a wealth of info you share with us. Thank you, sir.
Welcome aboard, Dennis! 👍😎
Hello guys! The links to the games we discussed in this lesson can be found in the description of the video. Hope you find them useful 👍😎
to answer your first question, the move I thought of was pawn takes bishop. I thought the plan was going to be a kingside attack, and after playing a bunch of attacking games with Colle I notice opportunities often arise when you kick out the f6 knight.. but after watching the rest of the video I guess this wasn't the plan for this game
@@tmbhbnt8281 you are actually correct! It's the same pattern we saw in the KIA lesson (#79) 👍 Thanks a lot for sharing your answer and keep having fun with the Colle 😎
My game has improved so much from your videos. It got worse for a while, but from teaching out chess club students your principles, they have really begun to become ingrained in my own head, and it's starting to come out in my play. Thanks!
Your lessons teach us a lot thanks for thaaaaat ❤
Many thanks for covering points raised two weeks ago about responses of the CZ against the KID and early moves such as Bg4.
First position thoughts in 10s ….Nxg5 (undefended piece)….then reroute this knight to blockade the isolated pawn on c6 via d3 to c5.
You are welcome, Peter! Thanks a lot for sharing your answer by the way. It helps a lot! 👍
Excellent coach thank you
That last game was like watching a great suspense movie...Great win coach😎. As for this lesson with Karpov....it went right over my head. I am going to have to watch this again and again😵💫 Great lesson as usual looking forward to the next one🤙
You got it, Norman! 👍💪
thaaannkkk uuu sooo much for the links of all those games pgn etc thhhhaaanannkkkkkyou soo much master
I loved the surprise game at the end. Great less. I like the idea of giving homework. I love strategy videos
That's great to know, Leonardo! 💪👍
THANK YOU!! Karpov was my favorite back in the days, when I played chess...... I always loved strategic play style. (what about doing Petrosjan videos....? :) )
You are more than welcome! And yes, we have so many great players pending to learn from including Petrosian 👍
Beautiful strategic lesson and wonderful game, I was suffering with you but even if you would have loose you had always lead the game!
Thank you, Danilo! Glad you liked this important lesson 👍
Amazing lesson, extremely informative and just to say this YOUR AMAZING
Thank you! 🙌😎 Glad to see you enjoyed this one 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez A suggestion: Can you add a small tactic puzzle at the end of the video and we try to find the solution in the comments and you heart or pin that comment so we know that is the solution nothing to crazy, a channel called chess talk is doing this so just wanted to ask if we could do
@@GigaChad-zg1cu thanks a lot for bringing this up! 💪 I was thinking of doing something similar to what I did on this one. Is that what you mean?
Yay for you on winning the 3 minute game - was an enjoyable stressful time rooting for you!. As far as not making the best moves - so what - it was a fast moving game which is typical.Thanks.
Thank you, Charles! 😎
Great lesson! I found all the immediate moves except the knight move on the second game. I was looking for a post for the knight but f3 just didn't click for me until you said it. Also, I'm a KID player myself and I was looking at the third position thinking, well, e4 looks the most natural but I don't understand why. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of giving away my "dragon" bishop. But after you explained the position it made complete sense and this is one lesson I will remember during my games. Thank you so much for posting such high quality content on youtube! Cheers!
One more interesting lesson, thank you 👍🇨🇵
You are welcome, Frederic! 👍
Nxe5 came into mind!
The last win was epic!
Thanks
Trying to do this right... My first thought was Qxe4 but before the time expired I considered the pawn capture to shift the Knight for play on the Kingside.
I've recently started developing the KIA/KID. I've a ways to go but I'm tacking on real improvement... many thanks!
Excellent! Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback! 👍
Nxe5 was 1st thought. But Pawn takes makes sense now after you explained. Above my head but I am still learning something from all your lessons. Also love the homework, I get nervous in the endgame but u always pull it off!!
Got lucky there 😁 Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am thinking of leaving a hw exercise at the end of some lessons 👍
Really what a brilliant game you player coach 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Knight E5 my thought was trying to find a safe outpost for my knight. I learned it from your previous lessons!
That makes sense, but you will see in lesson # 107 why it is not the best one here.
Much appreciations from Taiwan, thanks a lot.
Hello! Thanks a lot for your kind feedback 🙌😎
Great lesson coach i have recently see Yugoslav variation just like blitz game :)
Thank you, Yusuf! And keep it up! 💪
I chose Nxe5 because my plan was to re-route the Knight to the outpost on c5, blocking the advance of Black's c pawn and hitting other important squares.
That makes sense to me! Thanks a lot for sharing your answer. It helps a lot 👍🙌
For me what came to mind was NxB. I'm thinking of a sac suck on f7 and the queen entering with check, but I don't see any follow up. Maybe better is 1PxB N-d7, 2Q-K4.
A very useful video , Thank you Robert Sir for this amazing lesson ( I am a new subsciber of yours btw). And for the first question I thought of pawn takes the bishop because of 2 reasons - 1. It attacks the knight , 2. It avoids an IQP position which I dont like . Please make useful videos like this in the future
You got it! Welcome aboard 👍😎
Took the 2nd game as a challange! Over and over again till Stockfish 5 at the moment :D
💪😎
Karpov's style is mainly dislodging opponent pieces. That quickly gives a reason for dx5, dislodging N on f6.
Ahh nice way to put it 💪
Many years ago I have played against Karpov in a simul with 16 players (he lost one game), here in Brazil. At a certain moment, I offered a draw. He just made his move and went on to the next board. Two moves later I had to resign LOL. I did not see where the thunderbolt came from! He was one of the greatest players of all time, in my opinion.Nb1 is one of the most incredible move I have ever seen.
Legendary player indeed! 😎💪
Great video! For the two homework problems: I didn't find the answer to the first one, but for the second one g4 wins the game. If black takes with the knight, we recapture with our knight. If the black pawn on h5 ever captures the knight, you simply push h5 and win the pinned rook. If black doesn't recapture the knight with the h-pawn, we have simply won a knight for a pawn and should be comfortably winning. If black tries to be sneaky by playing f5, we trap the rook with gxh5, again easily winning. If black does something random, gxh5 wins the game.
Excellent! Thanks a lot for sharing your answer. It helps a lot 👍 Quick question ... in case Black played f5 like you mentioned, did you consider g5 trapping the g6-rook forever? 😎
@@NMRobertRamirez not at all lol.
Bishop take or knight take was the first moves to come to my mind.
On #2: Rf1 to d1 (doubling Rooks) to keep control of d file - bc currently if Black’s Rd8xRd7 it removes the defender of White’s pawn on c2 which then Nb4 can take (Nxc2). 🤷♂️
Thanks a lot for sharing your answer Charles! It helps me a lot 🙌
vvery helpful video because I am learning chess
Excellent! 👍💪
cool another one thank y
ou so much
You are more than welcome! 👍💪
@@NMRobertRamirez thank youso much for all its my new account its mizio lolar en facebook i will re join the cgannnel (bishop joning alraedy :) )
!!thx u
It was very good video :)
Found Homework position in 3-4 min . And checked the answer it was right.
EDIT: I think in homework position if f5, Gxh5 also works as rook has no squares to go.
Excellent! And glad to see you liked this lesson . Regarding f5, the best continuation seems to be g5 locking their rook for ever 👍
Tato is proud of you.
Dxe5 the pawn is quite strong there it will stop black adding pressure with rooks , stop black from expanding in king side and if we change this in endgame we can play f4 g3 and we will have no weakness in endgame but black have 1 on c6
Edit:In #2 I think rook d1 is move if rxd2 rxd2 rd8 rxd8 Qxd8 ka2 in end we have queen side majority better pawnstructutre but it still look like draw
My move was: d4xBe5.
Sir what level should I play with
PAwn takes get a tempi on the knight
connect the f pawn so not isoated
I was so stressed in the endgame, boy your games are amazing :p
Thank you, Vishal! I was too by the way 😎
move was bxe5
Move in first instinct dxe5.... (Remembering a position from the KIA)
Removing a defender of the king opening the d file where I can double up
This is the explanation of the 10 s
Will comment again after the video
First one. I got pawn takes because of isolated pawn, not the other reasons.
Second one, I got knight moves but I thought to c5...
Nice! Thanks a lot for sharing your answers! 👍🙌
Ne5 to the outpost - you taught us in previous lesson... change that. Pawn takes bishop brings isolated pawn back with pawn chain, Nf6 has pressure to move away, Bishop pressuring Nd5...?
😎 You have been paying attention. You will enjoy lesson # 107 if you have not watched it yet 💪
Robert brah these kind of things made me reach 1950. All to you brah . And I now know why I lost wining games
It's all you! 💪😎 Keep it up!
First move that came to mind was Nxe5
Thank you for sharing your answer, Carlos! 🙌
@@NMRobertRamirez Thanks to Maestro for helping us all grow stronger in our chess game!
Can someone suggest a good book on Karpov games. I am very interested about karpov games
Someone mentioned Karpov on Karpov 👍
i have a question that i am really stragling with.....
as i understand in the end game
you want your pawns on opposite color of your opponent bishop so they can't be targeted
in the middle game you want them to be on the same color of your opponent bishop to limit the bishop activity
also if you have the same color bishop you want them on the opposite color
is that right?....can you elaborate on weak color complexes?
thanks!
Hello! It looks like you know what you are talking about. Just remember that there are exceptions and it comes down to your own judgement of each position 👍💪
Ne5 in panic mode. Yes with a bit more time would have played dxe5. Never thought of opening ranks, very good. Will work thru this lesson in due course. Firstly Grandmasters Karpov and Spassky in their game played Kh2 and Kg7. Putting their king on the same colour as the opponents bishop?. Was it more important to get the King's off the back rank(with major pieces still present). Or is there a reason I don't understand?
Hello Carl! I think Kh2 was also to prevent Black from putting their bishop on the annoying g3 square 👍 By the way, thanks a lot for your feedback. Always nice to see you are finding value in these lessons 💪
What a great game by Geller. Played the game against my ipad computer(Chesswise) 5 mins after f4. Had the attack after pushing g and h pawns. However got my queen trapped on h4 and had to exchange queens. Drew the game hee hee. On a positive note after the game I had the same plan as Geller, but blundered in to exchanging queens. The computer must be at least 2200 too over 5 mins.
@@carlbinch898 the fact that you actually played it out from that position is invaluable!
Homework 1. Looking at Qb4?. for 1 minute or so. Then a minute or so to see the correct c4 etc. Just a question on this position. Blacks d6 is really weak. Could you slow play this as white. Swap pieces play against d6?. Homework 2. Again eye drawn towards Rh8 for a minute or so. Then saw g4. Think after Nxg4 i wouldn't play hxg4. Down a knight writing on the wall though.
on the second puzzle at 9:10 i really thinked about Na2, so i can excenge my bad knight with his powerfull knight, then, if we excenge pieces it is ok for me: he has a isolated pown, and it becomes ugly when there are less pieces on the board.... let me know about my idea, tk u coach
Hello! Your idea is interesting indeed and I like to see you thought of it. However, they could have done 1..., Nxa2 2.Qxa2, Rxd2 3.Bxd2 and then 3..., Qc5+. At that point, I am not sure if White is better. Hope this makes sense 👍💪
Take with the knight
Thank you for sharing your answer! 👍
how do I copy the PGN on lichess?
Hello! It is in the description of the video. Copy it and then paste as I showed in the video while I was suggesting it 👍
Wow. My brain is doing that thing….yeah, thinking.
😜👍💪
HW #1: Qb4 bc it attacks 2 of Black’s pawns at once.
HW#2: g4 because there is no way for Black to stop from losing his pinned rook. If …f5 then g4xh5 and the Rook has nowhere to go.
With 10 seconds to make a decision, I thought about dxe5 for 9 seconds, then switched to Nxe5. Let's watch the video to check if Nxe5 was right.
EDIT: Now I'm switching back to dxe5. It kicks the f6-Knight, creates a powerful outpost on d6, opens a file for the d2-Rook, and takes away the Bishop which covers the d6-square (although any capture would accomplish that goal).
EDIT: It gets rid of an isolated pawn.
Thanks a lot for sharing your answer 👍😎
Knight takes bishop is what I thought of...
Thank you for sharing your answer, Bruce! 👍🙌
knight E5
0:38 N captures B
My very first instinct is Nxe5.
Thanks a lot for sharing your answer! It helps a lot 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez After I saw your explanation of the Pawn move, I understood the reasoning for it, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten their on my own. At least not yet. Thanks, Coach!
@@stampdealer not yet, but soon 💪
knight E5. Probably half blunder, but it feels like the knight is protected and takes away a lot of moves for black. It is also a favorable trade if I lose a knight to a bishop.
You will enjoy lesson # 107 😎

In my youth I found Karpov boring and hoped that for example Korchnoi and Kasparov would beat him with there more aggressiv play. I have reassessed that lately. 😊 Also calm postional play can be very beautiful.👍

Doing your best but intermediate players find difficult to follow.
Hello Palitha! Thanks a lot for your feedback. Do you mean it is not so easy to understand for intermediate players?
@@NMRobertRamirez I am following your videos with lot of interest and have learned a lot. I feel your recent videos are good for advanced players. May be I’m wrong. Anyway a big thank you. You are a good teacher. God Bless You.
@@palithajayatillaka2113 Each person is different and to be honest, you might be right. Due to the format of this course, it is hard to cater for such a variety of players, but I also feel that anyone following this course from the beginning should already be getting exposure to these concepts. Have you been following these lessons in order since the beginning? Anyways, remember you can always ask me questions and review the lessons as many times as needed 👍💪

Hey, I’m not a guy! A “guy” is someone who wears his cap on backwards, eats Cheetos all day, and watches porno. I’m not a guy!
Hey umm bit of constructive criticism & you can take it or leave it but it shouldn’t take 6 minutes for the opening of this video to find the correct move. Most people don’t have that type of attention span, unfortunately, including me. Especially when the opening premise is to *quickly* find the correct move in 10 seconds. Unless your intended audience is that of those w/ that sort of attention span, which is fine but I don’t believe to be the typical person especially when you may be competing for views w/ other RUclipsrs. We want to know what the move is in a timely fashion & then you can explain
This coupled with, no offense, your slowww talking speed puts the viewer to sleep. I actually fast forwarded just to know the answer & based on the intro I’m clicking off the video cause the opening leads me to believe that this 36min video has about 12 minutes of information. Hopefully I said something of use to you. Have a great day.
Hello! Thanks a lot for taking the time to bring this up. I truly appreciate it. I know I loose many people due to the repetition and extra information. It can be unnecessary and annoying to some people (and I would also rather go straight to the point 😎), but more than competing for views, I want that anyone following this course gets as much info as possible. I would rather have some annoyed people than many full-of-doubts ones. It might be because I have worked with kids for many years and they really appreciate it.
Anyways, I trust people will skip ahead or simply find the info somewhere else. At the beginning (up to lessons # 40ish) I would present a topic in less than 15 minutes, but as we get into more complex topics, I do not feel that would make sense.
Again, thank you for your feedback and trust me I will keep it in mind for future videos 👍🙌
So much talking , ..... pfoeh sorry but it doesn’t have to take all day before give the right move
I know! 😎 If you are looking to learn Chess with 9-minute lessons, this is not the place. You must be a fast learner who does not need the repetition and extra info 👍💪
