Anatoly Karpov and Tigran Petrosian Chess Blitz

[@hariw834]

"Petrosian was a phenomenal blitz player. He would eagerly enter into complications he wouldn't dare to enter in serious games. He would find way out of forests of tactical confusions displaying great virtuosity. When you see him play blitz like this, you realize how phenomenal a talent he was" - Jan Timman (best of the west in the 80s :))

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

Such a great historical video! Thank you very much

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Priceless footage. Karpov seemed to have been annoyed with Furman. 😊 Nice to see a film of Petrosian. The man looked like a character.

[@comic4relief]

It looks like it was the cigarette smoke that bothered Karpov.

[@CARPB147]

@@comic4relief But Furman just had to take in one more puff after that and before he put the cigarette out. Deplorable habit.

Love those old school Soviet chessmen. So distinctive with the contrasting finial caps. Adore playing with my own knockoff, incomparable to the original one sees here.

karpov is also an holder of a degree in economics.A very bright and gentle man.

[@iCancrizans]

Iron Tigran was virtually unbeatable in blitz, particularly in the early 1960s

[@keithbate9405]

iCancrizans Tigran had a great record throughout his career not just in blitz. In the 1970's he taught Karpov a lesson in positional chess. He also beat Kasparov twice in the early 1980's. One player "duffed him up" twice in matches = Fischer. Also Fischer "put him to the sword" at bliz in 1970. Of course Fischer was a monster between 1967-72 at normal and blitz chess.

[@matheo1231]

Well, Bobby Fischer crushed him

cant forget when yasser beat him 4 times in a row

Petrosian, the very first trash talker in history 😂 ... My respects to such a great player.

[@bach5861]

pay attention to a guy who's watching the game. This is S. Furman, Karpov's coach.

Awesome material, it's always fascinating to see different generation chess players. And Vaganian was very interesting player, actually he didn't calculating much, he was very intuitive player with a lot of creative ideas. And I am not talking only about his awesome game with Kupreichik :)

[@chessparrotify]

Karpov, Vaganyan and Furman. No Petrosyan until later.

[@LarryRickenbacker]

Somebody PLEASE translate this. I'd love to know what "Iron Tigran" is saying to Vaganian while they're playing blitz; it's easy to tell Petrosian's having fun, alright.

[@RoadToFuture007]

+LarryRickenbacker yes, he makes jokes about Vagnian, they are a bit picky like "look at him , what a bird" or "ppl, tell me why this young man was piffling" but are not really meant to hurt him but to put spice in the game.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

Damn....how could Karpov fail to be a great player - he attended Botvinnik's Chess School and here he's hanging out blitzing with Petrosian.....JEALOUS!

[@itachiuchiha9773]

Karpov DOMINATED chess from 1975 - 85. And was as good as kasparov in later years.

[@skipitraplayful]

What are you saying? Karpov is one of the legends of chess. Particularly positional chess.

Et pourtant, Furman n'a eu qu'à prendre une bouffée supplémentaire après cela et avant d'éteindre sa cigarette. Habitude déplorable.

[@catheadmoon]

I always watch these with the sound off because I think they know what they are saying anyway but another reason is because I don't own a chess set. The chess set that I want used to cost $35 + tax but then I bought one and all of a sudden it sold out so I called them, on the phone, and they said they would be 'getting more in' and even though I knew that whoever it was that I was talking too just couldn't tell me for whatever reason that they had made a mistake I decided that since I'm in The United States of America that I would wait and still even though the picture and price remained on the website no chess set ever did show back up as being in stock although, curiously, then it did show up on another website for about $150 dollars but still I didn't buy one because I knew that eventually someone would have bought one and realized that they had a job to go to or kids to have or whatever and I would eventually just get one on ebay for whatever price but I guess the chess set that I want has really just ceased to exist maybe here in the land of 'The Customer is Always Right' or actually (judging by ebay) I guess maybe even worldwide, and so my name is Michael J Kendrick my address is 309 Harvey Dr, Woodway, Tx 76712-3326 and I own probably $100,000 worth of chess stuff, but no chess set, although it does feel good to be a trendsetter.
