Anatoly Karpov Teaches Isolated Pawn Strategy! - Best Of The 1980s - Korchnoi vs. Karpov, 1981

Anatoly Karpov has won as many brilliant positional games as any player in chess history. His games against Viktor Korchnoi are some of his finest, and in the ninth game of his 1981 World Championship match, he gave a perfect demonstration of how to play against an isolated pawn.
How to defeat an isolated pawn:
1. Control the square in front of the pawn.
2. Exchange as many minor pieces as possible.
3. Double your heavy pieces to pressure the pawn and tie down your opponent's forces.
4. If allowed, play a pawn break to pile up on the pinned piece and win a pawn.
5. If prevented, seize the newly opened lines.

[@michaelpaulson2543]

This is great, I just subscribed! Thank you for this breakdown

[@kartikbohra783]

Amazing game and analysis! Thank you Sam Copeland!!!

[@miguelangelfraumolina7547]

I've been following your chosen games for a long time, throughout your excellent classes, in which I enjoy the game itself but also the accurate analysis you print on them, so that learning is guaranteed. (I told you once & you gently answered me). On this occasion the class is even more Masterful, since Anatoly Karpov is indisputable figure of the 20th century for his positional games, although my sympathies were for Viktor Korchnoi (for "other" reasons). I thank you most sincerely, master Sam Copeland. P.D.: I even add, as a tip, that my English language also improves thanks to your clear diction.- By the way, always wanted to ask you, off the record, if your last name is related to the one "Copland". On account to the illustrious American composer Aaron Copland. Muchas gracias, seguiré muy atentamente sus trabajos.

[@alfonsocantor1058]

Please do commentary at Milan tournament in 1975 karpov games Sir. Excellent content

[@miguelmartisanchez8798]

I agree with many of the comments: you are a great commentator! I know comparations are hateful but you IMHO are in some aspects an improved agadmator, just different styles and both of you are fantastic. Congratulations!

[@bobmac232]

I learned a lot from this video, thank you--and now I can follow you as well. Sam, what is the source for Karpov's analysis of the game that you quote?

[@gerardosawaya8994]

Mai I suggest: Gelfand vs Karpov, Linares 1994. Thanks

[@miguelangelfraumolina7547]

Good day to you Mr. Copeland: in these days I've been around (studying, enjoying) the figure of the russian GM Valeri Borisovich Sálov. I'd like you to know what's your point about him, & if there's a particular game you could show us. Thank you sir.

[@Silvermist78]

Another great presentation Sam! What book is the commentary from?

[@ConcordMass]

This is exactly why I hate having an isolated pawn

[@ChessGeek1]

This is such a good chess channel. I have started my own channel half a year ago, I was wondering if you have any tips on channel growth? Regardless, keep it up

[@MEME-qe4ze]

botvinnik was very wrong. karpov is not only a diplomat for chess, he is in the top five of greatest players ever.

[@ivantheterrible4317]

Karpov is much more than top 5 ever. He is overall the best middlegame/endgame player in the history of chess!

[@josealejandroaburto7402]

Maybe saying "instructive" so much, but ok

[@manuefeli]

Is the world of chess so lame as botvinnik?
