💡 This is a video from the RCA’s upcoming chess course “Karpov’s Positional Style Revealed” – https://bit.ly/2QHL1Mb
The topic of this video is probably one of the most famous ones when we talk about Karpov, which is fighting against the opponent’s active pieces, or you can call it the battle against the opponent’s activity.
In many of Karpov’s games, you might have noticed that his opponent has very well-placed pieces inside his own territory of the board. And Karpov would usually take it extremely seriously and try to do everything he can to push his opponent’s pieces back or maybe exchange them in some manner. Not only does Karpov push his opponent’s pieces away, but in the process he also improves his own pieces. And he does that with his speciality of prophylaxis and brilliant piece maneuvers.
In this video lesson, from the RCA chess course “Karpov’s Positional Style Revealed”, IM Asaf Givon explains exactly how Karpov does that by showing a couple of Karpov’s games, one of which is played against his great rival, Boris Spassky, in the Candidates Semifinal Match 1974. Asaf calls this idea ‘The Karpovian Way’.
