Discovering Karpov's games literally added about 600 points to my rating in the long run.  Learning Karpov's approach fixed my whole middlegame, because instead of just develop -> attack, I started asking the right questions about a position.  It took a while to learn how to search for the answers.

as Karpov said,Petrosian played the caro-kann for a draw mostly,Karpov played it for a win

"Anatoly Karpov the greatest player of all time" I agree!

Fischer playing Karpov:

“Yep, 1.e4, best by te-“ *karpov goes 1…c6*

Hey Stjepan, I'm loving these videos, many thanks. Hope you continue this series.

I had the pleasure and honor to play against GM Karpov in a simul. I consider him one of the top 5 in chess history. He would have beaten Fischer in 1975.

I think you are the first person who I agree with, that Karpov is the best of all time

As a Caro Kann player myself Karpov’s the one I’ve been waiting for the most.

I would love videos like these on all different openings

Videos are great. Keep 'em coming!!

Maybe it is worthwhile to add that there was serious time-trouble in the first game, which explains the errors.
(As Karpov says himself in his: Anatoly Karpov's Best Games, 1996)

Greatest champion Karpov!

Hello, great video as always! I am a big Karpov fan also, did you read the 2 books ‘Karpov’s strategic wins’ by Tibor Karolyi? This is great stuff, i recommend

Great analysis! Thank you!
