After playing each good move Karpov is probably saying to himself, I played this against Kasparov, I played this against Korchnoi, I played this in a game with Spassky, I played a move like this in a game with Tal, I played like this against Petrosian, etc etc lol
El estilo de Karpov: Parece que él no jugara, que se abstuviera de jugar, como diciéndole al rival "Juega tú, yo sólo esperaré a ver qué pasa". Y ante esa (ilusoria) pasividad, el rival se envalentona, intenta atacar, invadir... Y tarde o temprano se da cuenta que cayó en la trampa. Karpov es el mejor "caimán" de todos los tiempos. Porque a eso se le llama la técnica del caimán: Abre bien la boca y la deja abierta; cuando un animal osa meterse en ella para escarbar sus dientes en busca de restos de comida, ¡plaf!, el caimán cierra la boca de golpe y se lo come.
They say in playing against karpov, in the beginning you don't feel threaten. Then slight pressure appears and it's getting bigger and you realize your game already lost. It's fuckin true a phyton🐍🐍🐍

I just recall listening a comedian talk about how boring chess is to watch. "Nothing happens!" he would exclaim. Yes, chess is very uneventful if you don't know what's going on. If you have two brain cells though, it's quite fascinating.
Chess is very boring. The players don't even throw a single punch in their matches, or do a somersault or overhead kick, instead just move pieces round a board with squares on it- and with long gaps in between in which they just sit there. It beggars belief that some people actually find it interesting, never mind fascinating.
I agree with Karpov, if he had been able to play Fischer -- which would have been a great learning experience -- he would have been a better player when he played Kasparov. I'm not going to argue against FIDE ratings, but I think Karpov was better than Kasparov.
@@davidcopson5800 nos matchs de 1984 a narrativa que criaram que karpov foi beneficiado é algo absurdo. sendo que a verdade é que kasparov foi beneficiado. onde já se viu , recomeçar o match onde o atual campeão mundial estava vencendo por 5x3? em uma melhor de 6??? tiraram por politica o titulo do karpov em 1984.
@@barracuda7018 no he didnt, 21-19 was their score, not counting blitz. How could he have the edge in the games he lost? As for anand, it doesnt mean anything, as karpov was way past his prime. Karpov was past his prime even when Kasparov won the title from him. When you compare two players you should compare their play at their best.
@@barracuda7018 As a Kasparov fan I'm with you on this Barracuda. Karpov never won in a WC match against Kasparov. If others are going to spout on about chess players in their prime then we should say that when Garry took on Karpov in 1984 it was way before Kasparov's prime at the age of just 21 (remember this was at a time when we didn't have 12-year-old GMs like today). Yes, Kasparov battled through that first match and learned a lot about Karpov's style of play, a sign of maturity and determination in the youthful Garry. Karpov himself said that when he played Korchnoi in 1978 he found (unexpectedly) that Korchnoi was in his prime as a chess player. Korchnoi was 47 at this point so there is no reason for anyone to say a 33-year-old Karpov was past his best in 1984 - in fact his peak rating was achieved in 1994 after the series of WC matches with Kasparov. Kasparov's peak rating of 2851 stood for a long time until Carlsen eclipsed it in 2013 (the only player to do so). Karpov was/is a very fine player but only staunch Anatoly fans will try and maintain he was better or as good as Kasparov.
+Ben Pork I think Karpov likes chess, no worry to be defeated, it is not the victory that matters him. I wonder Karpov ex-world champion always playing to play against younger and now best players than him, accepting to loose
Karpov allways plays it safe, grinding the opponent down backed up by rooks. So he can be very fast. He is really playing the clock more than the opponent. Allready after 2mins he is one minute ahead.
+Ben Pork He plays blitz for fun and to help promote chess. With blitz he can play against normal people like us because the games are quick, he would not have time to play many long games against people, better to play blitz so many people can play against him.
Demasiadas piezas sacrificadas para una jugada en la que solo tenía a la reina y una torre, Karpov como si nada aguantando la presión y avanzando el peón
karpov em termos técnicos foi melhor que kasparov. 1984 roubaram o titulo dele onde recomeçaram um rematch onde ele ganhava por 5x3. em linhares de 1994 o kasparov declarou que quem vencesse aquele forneio poderia ser considerado o campeão mundial. karpov teve a melhor atuação da história com 11/13. perdeu para ninguém. sendo que no 1 match de 1984 karparov só foi vencer karpo na 32 rodada. karpov ganhou muito do kasparov(que é outro jogador brilhante). porém karpov é mais jogador. tanto que fisher não quis enfrenta-lo em 1975
Very poor performance by Karpov. Though his opponent played poorly, Karpov was worse most of the time and didn't have a plan. So they made knight manoeuvers without sense, repeated moves etc. Then his opponent "sacrificed" a knight for no compensation and with a piece up and black's pieces far away from the center Karpov was able to win easily. Very weak play on both sides.
I'm a Karpov die-hard, but you're right. His only plan was to be quicker than his opponent, who had no plan either. Had he not sacrificed his knights for a rook, Karpov would have had to flag him.
@@aleksthegreat4130 Maybe in his prime (20-30 years ago) but certainly not if he plays like this. His performance was truly pathetic in this game. According to our Elo ratings (2617 vs 2213) his expected score in a tournament game (not blindfold) would be 9.2 out of 10. Blind would certainly be worse. And if he plays like in this game, I might even beat him.
@@aleksthegreat4130 That's how it works: A 2617 player can beat a 2800 player but he can also lose to a 2200 player. And if he plays as badly as in this game, it's a poor performance no matter if he plays better in other games.
Karpov is like the chess equivalent of the final boss in a video game.
we all beat the final boss in a video game so that can never be true
Nah, that's Magnus Carlsen or Garry Kasparov
@@ArranVid Каспаров играет в шахматы хуже моего телефона, какой из него босс?
At the end Karpov said "Нормально играл", which means something like "you played not bad".
You played as usual. Not bad=nice.
Incorrect. You misread the body language and the hand gesture. It means the position is so so, or, not so good.
Fast, systematic and lethal, just as he was thirty and forty years ago!
Absolutely not. Karpov played very poorly and was worse and without plan most of the time.
Slow maneuvering game against Karpov... what could possibly go wrong?!
Ha ha ha!

Thank you for this video! Good to see karpov still playing strong.

Beautifull plays by Rozanov
Indeed, he was at least level for a very long time. But he was too slow. That's why he played all-in with that knight combination.

mental gymnastics
Karpov is a gentilman player, great master. I greatly respect him. Long Live Comrade...
2:42 cb & Nc4, right?
Yes, and black is even better than later in the game
A true master! I thought he was done after that fork at 6:36 he really used that to his advantage.
That was a trade, rook and pawn for 2 knights. Nothing to lose.
Karpov Karpov everywhere like a ocean but not a drop to drink
I'd say Karpov is easily in the Top 10 All-Time, possibly Top 5.
If his first title match v Kasparov hadn't been so long he would be rated more highly still. Kasparov didn't win a game until game 32.
