Hi all,
In this video lecture I continue to study the works of Anatoly The Great. During the 9th round of the 1983 Interpolis Chess Tournament he was simply in great shape!

“Recap… Karpov showed:
1. opening knowledge 13 moves deep
2. creativity & ability to create an opening concept
3. very good understanding of difference between bishop and knight
4. very good feeling for the initiative
5. precise calculation to justify his strategies
6. plan shifting and ability to dream up positions
7. knowledge of when to transfer one advantage into another and when to capitalize on the position
8. great endgame skill
9. precise calculation of pawn race”
Excellent video. Thanks!
Another great lesson Waldemar. I am increasing my already high respect for Karpov after your lectures!. He was truly a genius of positional chess whom we can learn from (of course through your explanations!)
Thanks!.
Pablo.
Thank you for the work “behind the scenes” to make this presentation possible. To analyze and to become as familiar with a game as you have to be to present this lesson takes a lot of time and energy.
