karpov - one of the all time greats, on the very top.

Why are here critics about Karpov? He likes to play and he is still stronger as the most of us. By the way. Karpov won in this tournament against the tournament winner Magnus Carlsen. I hope that this stop the critics ...

Karpov and Kramnik - legends!

I like karpov, he has a good style

Love Karpov,a legend of the English opening and all round nice fellow, he should be the head of fide .

Excelente video sencillo pero sustancioso entre dos grandes del Ajedrez, Karpov con ese gran historial en este deporte, con un estilo de juego tan sublime y pulcro sin lugar a dudas de lo mejores jugadores de la elite y Kramnik que nos igue regalando buenas participaciones no tan constantes pero fue quien destrono a Kasparov en el titulo mundial y eso ya es historia.

Karpov is my favorite chess players of all times!

Karpov is a great player who had the title for a solid 10 years! However, Kramnik is a very accurate and solid player who has quite a few years on Karpov. And think in this game, Karpov was too aggressive too fast and over extended his pawn chain on the king side which led to a lot of weaknesses in the middle game. Which then, Kramnik started taking advantage of.

He's the player I most admire... truly a man who understands chess, understands the board... has lots of respect for the game... :]

Thanks for uploading!

the young karpov (especially 1978- 1982) cannot be beaten by anyone in blitz & in a long games

Karpov is very strong player> but he is very old man/// years give some times

Great video, ty for posting!

Karpov is like "I know what you're doing Kramnik - nod, nod", "Hold on, there's something else, oh, that's another trap - nod nod" , "that's right, I'm gonna.. wait, but he can still move the Queen....nod - nod" after a minute or so Karpov "never mind, lets make it quick" lol

Kramnik looking at Karpov like "So you were beaten three times by who? hehehehehehehehehe"

not a prob karpov, u r a great chess player!!!:)

Look closely. Karpov didn't move the clock closer towards him. He simply pulled it back and pushed it forward again. Kramnik was the one who pulled it towards him.

yeah blitz is for the young like Carlsen, but karpov is one of the greatest still but i do like kramink just like his calmness. that was a great video thanks for posting

Quanto mi piacerebbe poter leggere qualche commento in italiano. Ma nel mio paese, tutto quello che ha a che fare con il cervello, salvo strette minoraze, è ormai bandito. Aiutateci!!! Comunque, Karpov è stato ed è un grande scacchista. Solamente, è fisiologico che con l'età che avanza, faccia fatica a competere con chi è molto più giovane di lui.

He's not made for Blitz, he may calculate every possible move but needs time. Nevertheless a Genius beyond reasoning.

3:09 see the face of the audient looking at the board....... LOL!

I loled, notice how kramnik reaches the clock, and while karpov nods, he totally moves it towards him.

If one loses on time having an equal or winning position, it doesn't feel like losing. Karpov just doesn't want to make silly moves.

It`s silly to compare Carlsen`s and Nakamura`s speed with Karpov. He is 60 years old. I am more than positive that none of todays top GMs will play as good as karpov or Kasparov once they reach 45+.... That`s simply because todays GMs are far less ceative and far far more into memorising the openings and lines. I am not saying that`s wrong, it`s just a new age. Btw, no one played as fast as Capablanka :)))

at that level, blitz is definitely a younger man's game...

What were the time controls for this match? And what was the end result?

I'll like to see how Kramnik will perform when he's approaching 60.

Too slow old Karpov :(

La mayoría juega menos al llegar a viejos pero hay casos de viejos prodigios como reshevky que mantuvo un buen nivel de grande también.

Poor Karpov, no one is immortal.

What chess clocks are those?

Anyone else bothered by Kramnik moving the time clock closer to his side right before the start? Karpov set it in the middle, and then Kramnik slid it more to his side.

Kramnik: King of the double-chin effect

He's also older too. Lets not forget that guys.

I wish overhead cameras were used. :)

Karpov is very serius!

Is that Ljubomir Ljubojević in the cardigan and red necktie in the front?

@ivolgabb You are totally right!

father time was playing like he never heard of clocks

وربي كفو تم الدعس

What don't you get vertyy ?

I bet at slow time controls Karpov would still beat young low level GM's.

whos win?

que diferencia hay entre los jugadores?

@atrebil71 Ho detto che è inutile aspettarsi commenti in italiano su un filmato pubblicato in inglese in cui, a rigor di logica, anche un italiano commenterebbe in inglese. Per il resto mi sembra che siamo d'accordo sul fatto che saper giocare bene a scacchi non implica l'essere più intelligenti e quindi il non vedere eventuali commenti di italiani qui, con la premessa di cui sopra, non significa necessariamente che la maggior parte degli italiani sia stupida. Salutoni

Сидят как будто учитель и ученик)

Karpov timed out, so Kramnik won.

Kramnik is extremely handsome for a chess player who has been a world champion! Brain and beauty altogether ... I am in love with you Kramnik!

Karpov had a winning position whereas kramnik's position was a bit cramped and far behind in development.

DGT XL electronic chess clock.

The clock!!!

@TheReddwarff100 he still so good

@awe3774 why? :o

poor karpov. it's almost like he doesnt care about time, he just likes getting winning positions, which he had.

karpov win this game

what is the reason that he is in the prison??

DGT XL

Karpov is not bad chess player

why do u say that?

no he is just counting the amount of takes. That simple

Kramnik shalom aleihem...

Karpov castles queenside with 10 seconds left

you dont seem to be into women... but Alexandra Kosteniuk and Jennifer Shahade are extremely beautiful and they are chess geniuses

why?

Who won?

@moviecritic6 who said I play chess?! by the way, I forgive you!

i was waiting for someone to fart

so who won?

age is matter?

Well i will say that the best blitz players are the best classical players who have deep understanding of the position. Now does age matter?? Yes if a player is active with current chess developments than yes he will have current knowlege plus experiance. So players like kasparov and karpov will anytime beat current FM and IMs and GMs (excluding the top Super GMs). But when u talk about current young top players like Carlsen and Aronian and Nakamura and Caruana, well they too have deep understanding of position and they study chess a lot which makes up for the experiance. Then these players also have stamina and activ brain and they do have novelties up their sleeves.

Who disliked this video? perhaps a blunder, trying to click "Likes"

+1

girls love to watch chess

Watching Karpov calculate his moves is like watching a child using their fingers to add. The older you get, the slower the brain power :0)

@gpbiancoli Se io faccio un commento in Italiano su un qualcosa pubblicato da un Inglese, sarei un maleducato? Mi pare assurdo. Per il resto, non mi considero un qualunquista solo perchè registro che nel mio Paese un generale degrado culturale. E non mi considero intelligente, solo perchè gioco a scacchi.

that's SOBER

At the start, they just wanna play chess!

Bueno esq Karpov ya esta grande....

@wario356 LOL! @ Kramnik's face!

i like how chess resembles a silent war

I did. 3:43

someone farted oops, psychology won the game

Kramnik did.

He's too old for game that fast.

He jokes it because of what Kramnik is wearing. Like a prison shirt.

Karpov should not be playing Blitz. He seems like a guy who really needs his time to formulate the best possible plan; much like Kasparov.

Kramnik was in prison? are you joking ha ha

karpov slow thinking

wow... why does he do that to himself? it's blitz.. there's no room for such long thinks. u have to play on instinct.

Karpov think too much

@atrebil71 visto che l'autore ha pubblicato in inglese, è normale, oltre che buona educazione, commentare in inglese, anche se si è italiani. Inoltre due appunti: 1) il tuo commento sull'Italia è qualunquista e questa superficialità è ancora peggio del "non essere intelligenti" 2) giocare bene a scacchi non significa essere più intelligenti della norma. Significa allenarsi e studiare per saper giocare bene a scacchi. Punto. Non è che, visto che sai giocare a scacchi, ti credi intelligente? Ciao

karpov is rusty it seems

Vladimir Kramnik lebih tinggi dari Anatoly Karpov....

Karpov genius,I dont like xadrez blitz is terrible game

too weak, too slow

Too old..too slow.....

Karpov - bot...

karpov just thinks to slow... that's why kramnik won!

Kasparov 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Who won?
