Kasparov always said that it wasn't the mental capacity that diminishes, its the hunger, the dedication, the drive that wears off once you have become world champion. "You don't work as hard, you don't disrupt your game as much, you become complacent."... those are his words... Look at Anand playing his best chess in his 40s.
Karpov deserves more credit- in 144 WC games v Kasparov he trailed only 73-71, he was the most successful tournament player in history, and Linares 94 was one of the all-time greatest tournament wins, after Kasparov said the winner could be considered tournament world champ.
Mac Hugo The host probably replayed and analyzed the game before going to the replay with karpov to impress karpov and us viewers that he is thinking like a challenger to the crown! Hahaha, ho ho humn.!!!
@@majellajoyaviles3013 so, it's not very difficult to understand his moves, what is difficult is to calculating long lines and pressure of championship game
i agree - the game has changed so much it is impossible to say who is the best ever. The modern masters have definitely learned from their predecessors. I think Kasparov is the best ever because he was the undisputed champion and dominated the field so thoroughly - but who really knows? Karpov was a monster, Fischer was incredibly talented by himself, and what about Tal, Botvinnik, Alekhine, Morphy, etc.. We´ll see how Carlsen matches up in the next few years!!
Didn’t lose a single classical game in about 800 days, battling the latest engines and absorbing some strategy for use against his hapless human opponents. Vacates the title in 2023 still indisputably the best player in the world by a large margin…not bad but is he better that all his predecessors as well?
Thanks. If you want a 25% off coupon on either the physical or digital download version let me know. It's over 4 hours of this content. Or if moneys a little tight, we'll be putting out another 20 minute video on his 1990 championship sometime within the next week. Cheers, Will
Karpov is the man - agreed. however there are some players like 2012 World Championship Challenger Boris Gelfand (age 43 i believe) and current World Champ Viswanathan Anand (age 45) who might disagree with you!
the 1987 match must been so hard to take. Needing only a draw, Karpov was probably expecting gary to be ultra aggressive. Instead Kasparov played quietly and Anatoly could not readjust.
Kasparovs trick was to stabilise the position and then go home and figure it out with his team, and come back with a new line. Sounds like he couldn’t figure it out himself. Thanks Karpov.
Not really,Kasparov´s team of coaches was much bigger than Karpov´s,you can see that in the 1990 match in Lyon.Garry had like 6 or 7 coaches all the time and Karpov just had 2 seconds(Ron Henley and Lajos Portisch).If you want you can watch that match here on youtube.
Fischer was a natural genius, but so was Kasparov (despite the massive preparation) Garry did play novelty lines in the Kings Indian and Sicilian never seen in match play. They were different times. Now you have 15yr old kids rated 2600+, because they can leverage technology to master chess theory. The game is definitely more mechanical but Kasparov as good a creative genius as Fischer was. Karpov was the master of technique, strategy and position and Kasparov learned a great deal from him.
Karpovian technique at its best - turning a seemingly poor position into a winning game for black through subtle, systematic, surgical, strategic play. Garry was more of a creative, dynamic, agressive guy and this kind of slow slogging wasn't his forte, this was Karpovian territory.
Agreed. In Mophy's time 1850s the masters must have memorized not more than 100,000 positions, by 1920s GMs like Alekhine maybe 200,000 positions, 1980s Karpov-Kasparov maybe 280,000 positions... Imagine Carlsen in the future 28 - 30yrs maybe 300,000 positions in memory, maybe rating of 2900+, games will quite mechanical deep into middle game, but a new genius comes up with strange new lines and beats Carlsen and revives the game again. Chess lives forever.
Karpov is disciplined precise and calm.Kasparov even though he great was aggressive arrogant and a sore loser.He most often criticised himself than give credit to his opponent's play.
Typical cheap shaming tactics that takes nothing away from Kasparov. Especially as in truth, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a 'sore loser'.

Scientifically we know that short term memory does deteriorate at some time... we can safely somewhere between 20yr and 60yr... Alekhine was in his prime in his mid 50s. There has to be an evolutionary coping mechanism that allows men/women in their 50s and 60s to be trusted with the most difficult cognitive decisions in society. Loss of short term memory yes, but maybe intuitive thinking is enhanced. Its not that simple. I used to be like you also, but its not so easy.
You are clearly wrong with your statement,firstable Kasparov won the 1985,1987 and 1990 world championships very narrowly,Karpov was very close of taking back his world champion title those times.In the first world championship the disputed(1984-85)they were so tight that the match was cancelled but Karpov showed superiority that time and keeped his title.Fischer was so superior to Kasparov that is not even funny and he made it all by himself,without computers or trainers like Kasparov:P
Eh? So you LOL'd because I replied to some stupid comment saying it was a childish? Next time just avoid replying altogether man, you are just spamming my Inbox with white noise.
cause Karpov's english is not that good and Henley is a grandmaster himself. maybe u should learn who should shut up in the first place. Henley did his homework and deserved to commentate!
It is evident there is envy and jealousy from karpov. I do not blame him since kasparov devastated and crushed his ego in so many games and played like he is child and doesn’t even exist. There is no one like kassparov and there will never be and that will always hurt deeply. Poor thing.
By the numbers it was nearly even lol. I don't know who taught you that narrative but anyone who watched knows Kaspy cared a lot more. Seriously, when Karpov lost he would go chill at a museum and enjoy life because he knew he had it easy. Gary probably cried as much after wins as he did losses because the people watching would never love him as much as he loved himself lol. Except maybe you

Linares 1994 should be the greatest tournament win of all time. 11/13 with 9 wins is mind-boggling considering the line up.
Akash Moothedath Fantastic Tolya!

Great comment Anglo; i agree completely!
I fully agree anatoly is the most succesful chess player . he kills you slowly but surely
Whether Anatoly 'deserves more credit' or not, his place among chess greats is enviable.
these videos are so instructional and addictive, thanks a ton
thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed the video!
no doubt. The best positional chess player ever.

@@majellajoyaviles3013 so, it's not very difficult to understand his moves, what is difficult is to calculating long lines and pressure of championship game
It's interesting how their playing styles are reflected in their personalities: Kasparov - aggressive & confident. Karpov - logical & precise.

Karpov is a gentlemen and this coverage is top-notch .

Anyway, it was an even match
Video should be called "GM Henley analyzes , while Karpov says "yes....yes...yes...that's right...yes... "
Kasparovs trick was to stabilise the position and then go home and figure it out with his team, and come back with a new line. Sounds like he couldn’t figure it out himself. Thanks Karpov.

The host interrupted too much. Let the great Master talk!
Fantastic

why is karpov always interrupted
He's gaining crucial tempos.

How loaded are you william :) its a compliment, anyways did you play Ray Robson recently. Will you make the video of it?
Brilliant. Love these ids
I love the music
Very interesting character
My GOATs of chess goes in this order:
1. Carlsen
2. Kasparov
3. Fischer
4. Karpov
5. Anand

Chess lives forever.
Carlsen still on top
you dont memorize positions its intuition. The brain cant mentally remember 280000 positions
Wow Ron, age sure does catch up with us all.:)
9:27 young Irina Krush already nerded out by chess😂😂. I was probably even nerdier at that age for the piano.
Karpov is disciplined precise and calm.Kasparov even though he great was aggressive arrogant and a sore loser.He most often criticised himself than give credit to his opponent's play.
+Kaustav Kundu Yes, they had a very different personality.
Sore loser?? He defeated KARPOV every single time 4 times between 1986-1990 .. What more does he has to prove that he was the overall better player..
Typical cheap shaming tactics that takes nothing away from Kasparov. Especially as in truth, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a 'sore loser'.
