Karpov vs Kamsky by Karpov - Best game of 1992 Pt.1

[cramer2207]

Karpov eres mi favorito!!! X)

[city12chania]

the 1 dislike is Kamsky

[TEDOVSKY]

With kasparov grabbing the headlines these past twenty plus years its easy for people to forget just how great a player karpov was in his glory years. true, he lost 4 world title clashes with kasparov, but he was only narrowly beaten each time and qualified each time thru all the qualifying rounds to confront gary each time and he wiped the floor with everybody else. When leading gary 5-0 in their 1st world title clash he missed a simple endgame win which would have left gary crushed.(6-0!)

@TEDOVSKY

well you are right about karpov being a great player...but..as everybody knows he was sustained by the soviet system and it is said that in that match(the one with 5-0 with Kasparov) Gary wasn't allowed to win till Karpov had 5 points in advance:).

[MrQmason]

@1987DeLarge Wow, never knew that. I guess Karpov had some serious pull in the old USSR.

[Ruxistico]

@MrQmason it isn't true. It's just a rumor.

[Ruxistico]

@1987DeLarge if that was indeed so, don't you think that Kasparov would have said it? If not then, then at least now? I've followed both Gazza and Anatoly very closely and I am certain that there were no fixed results between them. Ever.

[iBishopEsquire]

I saw the one these two did on Fischer. These videos are really nice.

[janweltevreden]

Although eclipsed by a raging kasparov it must be remembered just what a force karpov was before gary's era started. How karpov must rue the missed end-game win at his fingertips when he was 5-0! up in their first world title match. I am convinced that had he beaten the young kasparov 6-0 at the time, then it would have been a hammer blow to gary's confidence and he may never have recovered. But he DIDNT find that end-game win and the rest is history, or rather, gary's history!

Even during an analysis, you never know what Karpov is thinking!!

[barsorrro]

One can argue that computers would beat humans at any algorithmical activity. But what's the point of such conclusion? Chess is obviously a game which can be subjected to algorithmisation, and since the allgorithms had improved and, more importantly, the computing performance has gone sky high, we humans have no chance against machines. But computers don't _thing_, they don't really analyse. So, we shouldn't emulate them. We can only check our ideas against them.

nice vid!

[haine920]

@Ruxistico, banda5k1, illmaculatechess, davegski Yeah but people who want to learn and win dont need some subjective explainations about a position wich is analysed with maximum 5 moves deep in this case. They only need to see the opportunities that players missed. People doesnt like computers because they show them what they missed and they are always angry about it (I think we should creat some engines who can feel some love for these poor men) : that's pathetic and ridicoulus.

@haine920

No that's not right, at GM level or even a good club level, there are many games of chess occuring in 1 game.

Nearly all of the moves thought through and especially tactics within a game are calculated but never happen on the board.

To only see somthing that was missed, that's called a blunder. Very basic chess, If I missed a 5 or 6 move forced combination I would be unhappy let alone a 1 move blunder.

[Fupper16]

Karpov usually looks very energized, but in this video he looks like he just swigged a bottle of vodka!

[ChessNoir]

@Fupper16 that's how we roll in russia!

[Matute7231]

Karpov, what a great player I always tried to imitate (to difficult to try to imitate Kasparov or Tahl). And his win in LInares '94 unforgettable...

[haine920]

... I prefere analysies done by my engines...

[illmaculatechess]

@haine920 are u kidding me?? i greatly prefer the analysis of two grandmasters vs that of a lifeless engine

[Ruxistico]

@haine920 wow I cannot follow that at all! I would prefer to listen to Karpov any day! He can narrate the game and explain what is was all about. The engine can only tell you "this move is good, this is bad" - it cannot analyze the game. It's nothing but a tactical calculator.

[banda5k1]

@haine920 You must have a very poor raiting...
