First time I saw Tal, I thought "But what if they did play good against him? He would usually lose. I prefer to play correctly and at the end, just let the advantage work.
Karpov's one of the top 5 legends of chess. It's definitely worth mentioning he won the most grandmaster tournaments in history.. I think most People do not know this amazing fact
@@plasmaastronaut Karpov wins more tournaments than Anand, wins more world championships than Anand (he has 6 and Anand has 5), has a higher (projected) peak elo than Anand (Karpov is estimated 2820 peak and Anand is 2817), Karpov reigned as World Champ for 18 years while Anand reigned for only 9 years. So, in terms of achievements, Karpov would eat Anand for breakfast. Not sure if you're ignorant or you're a mega biased Indian yelling and over-praising for anything remotely Indian .
I feel like Karpov's highlight reel is the most instructive, because instead of bombastic theatrical combinations, these are actually concrete concepts that you can look for in real practical games.
Dear Simon, first of all thanks for the idea of presenting us the most brilliant moves of the great chess players. It's every time a pleasure to hear you commenting the essence of the moves. Maybe you can present us a new category : The most difficult moves to find for computers That would be great. To see, where the chess engines failed, whereas man found the brilliant way to win. Your fan from Germany, Torsten
The game of Anand vs Nepo in which Nepo resigned after 17 moves, some computers fail to find the 14th move and consider it blunder... and some fast computers find it after taking some time...
Incredible moves. Very well explained too. I would have liked The first move to be explained more, but good nonetheless. The fourth game is a classic. The endgame one is absolutely majestic. The last one is one I have never seen before and highly instructive.
I have always preferred Karpov to Kasparov simply because it has a much more understandable game plan and you can quickly understand what are his intentions with every move
he wasn't even at my top10 untill i've gone through his career and analyzed some of his famous games, and even when he joins spectators in chess24 he is simply waaay ahead of them at his 70's finding best moves in seconds he is now top3. i think if he was given a chance to face fisher he could actually win! all love and respect for him
Thanks for this non-mainstream video. Please publish more on Karpov, there is so little on the net about his subtle brilliance, which is so easy to miss for players of my calibre. Best of luck .
From watching Karpov and Fischer best moves, I could see why the former could've been a serious threat to the latter. I mean, Karpov was a positional player that contrasted Fischer's style. If they played, I would put my money on Anatoly Karpov.
They didn’t exactly contrast. People were fans of Fischer’s attacking, dynamic play. However, in terms of style, he was a mix of both calm and dynamic play. Both Karpov and Fischer were excellent positional players, at least in my opinion.
As a local and state junior champion, I "grew up" in chess during the Karpov-Kasparov eras. As a kid, before the Internet, it was so exciting getting hands on a new Chess Informant edition and seeing all those super tournament with games annotated by both super GMs at their peek.
These series should be very famous. The editing and the GM analysing are both fantastic. I wish that the games are more thoroughly analysed though. Especially the human thought process behind the moves.
Thanks for showing us the brilliance of Karpov. For the first time I have seen that Karpov was not averse to sacrificing pieces for technical advantage
2:18 Ng2!! Positon is equal but kasparov made blunder 3:38 knight is better 5:05 I see g5 idea and after you can see ke7 6:19 I see 7:10 defending rook and e7 pawn
Can you do a video on Chandler v Karpov, Bath 1983? It has a special meaning for me, maybe the first grandmaster game that I analysed as a child. Maybe it is not his most famous game, but it did win a beauty price in that tournament.
5 was a pretty normalish looking move, 4 was a bit crazy and then tal came out and threw all of his pieces away. Excellent vid, Simon! though i do miss all the awesome effects that have been used in previous videos
I like your series of videos but please add what colour the player is at the start of each example. I have to reveal the answer to find if white or black to move. Maybe I should know from the position but I am not an advanced player. Thanks.. Mike
Simon in his usual top 5s: "Can you guess the move... tan tan tan tan tan... [move] WOAA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" Simon with Anatoly : "Can you guess the move... [move] a really subtle but 800IQ play by Karpov... A calm video for a calm player :D

Thanks for this clip. Shows me that chess does not consist of 'big crackers' and sensationalism only but also of quiet moves that make much sense and are very difficult to find.

Petrosian next?
Anatoly's best move is Walking with a dark souls music before making a toddler cry
true
This isn't the real story my friend. The toddler cried after he lost the game against him D:
@@altheoo1543 no shit, everyone knows this, it's a joke.
@@prakhar9998 Oki
Karpov of the boreal valley
Everyone: Karpov is amazing! He's a great man! He's-
Me: "is this the man who ended Misha's career?"
Misha now knows what it takes, a valuable lesson delivered at the earliest
@@annalisajohn good
@Ashikur Rahman Rifat yeet the child
He should have taken the draw
"I've got no style"
I relate to Karpov.
Except most people would tend towards one with no talent or understanding of what I'm doing, when describing my chess
Me too bud..
Quite a class answer i think.
Hell yeah
Yes except he has talent unlike me...
Why do I hear boss music?
Poor Misha
Childhood is idolizing Morphy and Tal, adulthood is realizing that Karpov made more sense
First time I saw Tal, I thought "But what if they did play good against him? He would usually lose. I prefer to play correctly and at the end, just let the advantage work.
Karpov is the better player. Morphy and Tal are more talented.
@insert username more like the entire field was weak
Lmao
Tal’s moves aren’t supposed to make sense
Karpov's one of the top 5 legends of chess. It's definitely worth mentioning he won the most grandmaster tournaments in history.. I think most People do not know this amazing fact
whoa nice
1. Magnoooooooos
2. Kramnik
3. Garry
4. Fischer
5. Anand
6. Karpov
he misses out by one
He did have a very long chess career
He also made a toddler cry

I am sure computers won't predict some moves of Karpov
the computers don't fail.
they're in a different league that us.
It's like a runner and a racing car
The game of Anand vs Nepo in which Nepo resigned after 17 moves, some computers fail to find the 14th move and consider it blunder... and some fast computers find it after taking some time...
Karpov moves are more astonishing
gotta love Karpov for the variety of positional and tactical and just plain weird moves that actually work
I absolutely love Karpov.
I can't get enough of GINGERGM - 10/10
What's your channels banner from?
Can you do Tal next?
We would need top 50 moves for that...5 aint enough
@@lukacalov1988 so true 😂
@@lukacalov1988 DAMN TRUE🔥🔥
@@lukacalov1988 like it
For tal they need best million noves by mikhail tal which is not possible as each of tal's move were simply out of a normal homo sapiens's imagination

I love all the moves in the series!
I have always preferred Karpov to Kasparov simply because it has a much more understandable game plan and you can quickly understand what are his intentions with every move
Love this series! Pls continue it!
he wasn't even at my top10
untill i've gone through his career and analyzed some of his famous games, and even when he joins spectators in chess24
he is simply waaay ahead of them at his 70's finding best moves in seconds
he is now top3. i think if he was given a chance to face fisher he could actually win!
all love and respect for him
Nah Fischer would probably win the 75 match.
That was one of the best chess videos I've ever seen! Simply amazing. Karpov and kasparov's games are more enjoyable to watch than those of magnus's
You Ginger GM presents chess in a refreshing, entertaining and educating way. Hats off.
Thanks for this non-mainstream video. Please publish more on Karpov, there is so little on the net about his subtle brilliance, which is so easy to miss for players of my calibre. Best of luck .
I like how passionate is shows how much he loves chess

the most complicated and brillant moves!
Oh yeah want even more Simon and the editor = best
Aye Simon, I think you may make a living out of chess
Pretty good examples of the power of seeing what your opponent would like to do and sabotaging that, as opposed to just following your own gameplan.
As a local and state junior champion, I "grew up" in chess during the Karpov-Kasparov eras.
As a kid, before the Internet, it was so exciting getting hands on a new Chess Informant edition and seeing all those super tournament with games annotated by both super GMs at their peek.
I'm having so much fun watching all the series thank you grand master Simon Williams!
Love the Simon series please continue it
These series should be very famous. The editing and the GM analysing are both fantastic. I wish that the games are more thoroughly analysed though. Especially the human thought process behind the moves.
Thanks for showing us the brilliance of Karpov. For the first time I have seen that Karpov was not averse to sacrificing pieces for technical advantage
More anatoly karpov games pls... The full game if possible
King to e7 was a move I would never ever find, brilliant
More Karpov please! A gentleman - like Spassky.
I love this! The subtlety of his style is brilliant!
it's a fine line between madness and genius. tread that line, and draw power from both sides
Last one was my favourite. Beautiful like art.
Love this series, please keep them coming!
that was great. Karpov is becoming my fav fast.
We love these best 5 videos. Great work Simon!
Your descriotions about the games are amazing!
wow, amazing. Please make Anand's best moves video on the occasion of him turning 50.
2:18 Ng2!! Positon is equal but kasparov made blunder
3:38 knight is better
5:05 I see g5 idea and after you can see ke7
6:19 I see
7:10 defending rook and e7 pawn
I think that good measure of his brilliancy is the fact that all of these moves are hidden very deep in positions and yet he finds them
Can you do a video on Chandler v Karpov, Bath 1983? It has a special meaning for me, maybe the first grandmaster game that I analysed as a child. Maybe it is not his most famous game, but it did win a beauty price in that tournament.
For problem 4 at 6:04 what do you think of the move 1.e5? If black plays ...dxe5 then 2.g5 and if they answer with ...Rxe5 then 2. f4 Rec5 3.g5
the forth one is def the best, that rook sac with the pawn move was amazing
When I see Karpov one move came to my mind. Nb1!
I hve seen allot of your videos, this is by far the best.
Great videos. Can you please also post links to chessgames, so we can find the games, download and analize them?
Wow. Seems so simple but what wonderful strategy moves. The power on squares !!
One of my favor ite players! A brilliant chess warrior!
You always do such a great job and comments. Can you do Alekhine's 5 most brilliant?
Excellent Video, I wish you shared more such examples !!
Those hidden moves are incredibly clever. The most brilliant video of this series
Every player is Simon's one of the favourite player 🙏
In the last one, I thought of Rf3, then Rxf3, Bxf3, Qxf3. And may be this is the reason why Karpov played bishop first- Rf3, g4, Rxf5, exf5.
More Karpov videos please. And along the same lines maybe some Petrosian?
Very nice video! Really enjoy this serie
Thank you for this marvellous video. Simon you are one of the very best!
Fantastic stuff. Please more of these
5 was a pretty normalish looking move, 4 was a bit crazy and then tal came out and threw all of his pieces away. Excellent vid, Simon! though i do miss all the awesome effects that have been used in previous videos
Misha: *Why do I hear boss music?*
Awesome videos Simon! Keep it up 👍
Haven’t watched this yet, but I can bet that Ba7 must be somewhere on this list.
karpov played engine chess before engines
I love chess but will admit I'm a total novice. What a dignified, strategic game. Much respect to all you chess masters.
Love the 5 Best. Thank you 🙏, Simon!
Great stuff. Please keep doing what you do. Please keep more focus on earlier players. Thanks
Tal throwing the sink at Eric Hansen, truly a throwback!
Beautiful and Brilliant as always! I prefer Ginger’s Gems 💎 as a more fitting title. Nonetheless, enjoying these hidden treasures of gold.
And there was a game where Karpov played Nb1. I cannot remember which game it was but the move was amazing at that very moment.
Your my favorite chess channel
You deliver the moves with even better sound effects
Hilarious
more of 'discombobulated' please
Very nice! I like this concept of the best 5 moves.
Do another one of these on Steinitz
Simon these videos are great.. Bobby, Morphy, Magnus.. and now Karpov... great work! Maybe in the future consider Petrosian or Nezhmetdinov..
So different yet so subtle
greatest format ever
I like your series of videos but please add what colour the player is at the start of each example. I have to reveal the answer to find if white or black to move. Maybe I should know from the position but I am not an advanced player. Thanks.. Mike
Thank you so much GM ......Excellent video!
Thanks a lot simon .the last one was my best
Simon in his usual top 5s:
"Can you guess the move... tan tan tan tan tan... [move] WOAA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"
Simon with Anatoly :
"Can you guess the move... [move] a really subtle but 800IQ play by Karpov...
A calm video for a calm player :D
I love all of these Best 5 move series
The bishop "sacrifice" was wild
hi :) Simon :) thx for the game ! nice to see you again ( Olivier G From Rueil Malmaison :) )
Love all of your videos. Continue doing
Great video Simon.
Would be nice if you quickly let the games play out after all the examples.
8;20 , the correct continuation after pone exf6 is not qh7check, and king f8, qh8check, kingf8 rook e1 because black queen controls e1.
the correct continuation is knigt h5-pone gh5, and rookg1 mat.
5:50 was the best one
Karpov v fischer would have been legendary
4:01 FAMOUS legend Gata Kamsky
excellent examples and brilliant moves
I love this series, please put Rubinstein on your list!
Anatoly “bonecrusher” karpov
You're so small, I can't even carve out 8 pawns from your bones Misha!
8.25 '' with Re1 coming opponent resigns'' How e1 square is guarded by the queen
Karpov was a machine
Thanks for this clip. Shows me that chess does not consist of 'big crackers' and sensationalism only but also of quiet moves that make much sense and are very difficult to find.
