Karpov Teaches Middlegame Strategy 🥇 (Beginner Chess Videos)

[@johnny_pilot]

What a lovely man Anatoly Karpov is, a real gentleman.

[@faraazfk5782]

Yes.

[@lbvprasad5495]

Karpov is a chess legend. He is a master and we are students. As u rightly said:Studying games of such greats will be a giant leap for mankind.Iam grateful to god for giving us karpov,kasparov,bobby fischer.

[@terryqu4822]

So pretty much during middle game, you want to analyze the board and determine what advantages you and your opponent has. Then, knowing your opponent's disadvantage, you want to attack your opponent's weakness, which'll become your "plan". You want to move your pieces and counter your opponent's moves in order to make your plan succeed. And in order to get good at making the best plays, you'd want to practice a lot.

[@mattpike7268]

Karpov is one of my favorite chess players ever!

[@ChesscomGames]

Matt Pike It's a luxury to have a former world champion as a teacher!

[@Idontunderstandchess]

No kidding? I thought everyone has one.

[@ChesscomGames]

Yes he speaks very fluently, check out my summer 2012 interview with karpov - he is a real class act. Cheers, Will

[@obrcht]

Karpov knows the basics cold. An advance club player can know them too. Yet it is so easy to deviate from them by not being focused. Karpov knows the distinctive parts, if subtle, the relative importance of the parts and the exact sequence in a given position. Further he remains focus.

[@giancarlog89]

+obrcht this is just a beginners tutorial, goddammit, this is not Karpov in action

[@Wally780]

@@giancarlog89you have a good point this is in a beginner’s perspective not his we can only imagine.

[@lbvprasad5495]

Mr Anantoly Karpov entered the guinness book of world records during his active regime in chess. He is a real genius.

[@ChesscomGames]

Thanks for your feedback, we'll consider that for future videos.

[@henryseidel5469]

Anatoly Karpov is not only a world champion but also a great gentleman. It is astonishing how he covers the strategy of the entire game to almost the end. That is what makes him a champion.

[@henryseidel5469]

Thank you ! It is typically "Russian" to calculate everything thoroughly to the very last move. Even in political affairs.....

[@ChesscomGames]

[@HeadHunterzFan92]

karpov looks like a very modest and overall good person, this is not common between champions

[@lbvprasad5495]

Grand masters play a strong combination game and not a piece by piece moves without any purpose. As you can see in above explanation, any wrong counter play will bring you sorrow. Every move has to be played in context with opponent's counter play. You should be able to foresee at least 5-6 moves ahead of your opponent and then develop your pieces accordingly. When i played for a bank during 80's...i stood a runnerup (second place) with my practice, i lost 8 kgs due to mental energy draining. So you also have to keep physically fit for chess game. I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH EFFORTS Karpov and Dzindzichasvili must have undergone to become GM's and world champs. Besides Anatoly karpov entered the guinness book of world records during his reigning as world champ. The best way to improve chess is by watching these type of tutorials and playing out GM games on board carefully understanding each sequence of moves. You must understand every plan of your opponent. What he is upto?????? Carefully understanding pins,forks,skewers,discovered checks,passed pawn plans after exchanges. Ohhh, chess is a very difficult game, indeed. brgds LBV PRASAD INDIA

my idol was fischer but i love karpov style of play.!

[@toastersman217]

Karpov is a master of the position playing. I love how he plays.

[@EJBen007]

Anatoly Karpov -- one of the only men able to put chess in layman's perspective. Brilliant player, and an even better teacher

[@mycroftholmes7379]

Karpov: "We need to talk about uh-" Me: financial crisis

[@atel2000]

Vert great video by Karpov! Thanks

[@mwangikimani3970]

Its interesting how Karpov would correct Roman on some subtleties, yet Roman is an expert himself. Tells you how good Karpov is!

[@tivrfoa]

18:00 D..: "Can we say that this position is practically hopeless for black?" Karvov: ":) Well, if I'm white you can say this for sure." Nice video.

[@unknown-gy8jz]

He doesn't said that

[@lbvprasad5495]

Karpov is able to see the middle game right until the end game. Only god can see better than him.

[@adibakarlen]

karpov is humble gentlement

[@chessrookiesarea]

Funny stuff. I looked into my database and found the French game Dzindzichiashvili-Bonin, USA 1988 until move 16.c2-c3 (16.Se2-d4 played instead). Game ended with a draw.

[@combat246]

Love these Karpov videos. Keep them coming!

[@PrasannaKumar-zx7gr]

Thank you sir..... I learned some skills from the video...

[@peterkolter9417]

I love Anatoly Karpov. More please!

[@DreamWizard9]

That was wonderful! Thank you GM Karpow and GM Dzindzichashvili

[@adityashekhar2564]

God has placed middle game prior to the end game and we have karpov to analyse it... 😊

[@ChesscomGames]

alright that was pretty funny jack - well played

[@kaustubhjoshi4957]

what a positional lesson it is!

[@ChesscomGames]

Thanks!

[@ChesscomGames]

crunk is a slang term that is very popular in Atlanta (where OnlineChessLessons is from), normally indicating an enhanced level of interest, excitement, awesome, or excellence

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Please do more. These are amazing!

[@WillToWinvlog]

I hate Google's advertising scheme. I absolutely can't stand the increasingly creepy ads. I've never purchased or have been inclined to purchase anything I've seen in these ads. That being said, once that was over with, the video was nice. I remember in some other Dzindzi video, he said he worked with Karpov, so it's nice to see the result of their work!

[@gustavomilione1970]

Excelent class of the master Tolia!

[@acorintias]

Really nice comments, the two samples are really clear and very instructive, thank you! I suggest for future videos, show the movements in the screen (do more quick introduction and put more quick the position to study -or at least show the movements on the screen- ... just because of until the 1:42 it does not happen nothing). But I repeat, from 1:43 it is a superb video! Go on!

[@flankerdel277]

One problem with the example against french defense. 1. e4 e5, 2 d4 d5, 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 and h6 kicks the bishop of the square or forces an Bxf6 and black keeps his main bishop while white loses it. Not good in the long term.

[@Andalus710]

after rook f8 check the knight moves into d7 taking bishop with check forking queen making it hopeless for black.

[@squallpogi]

man.. that guy is huge.. this should be called david vs. goliath..

[@tonypeter8209]

Excellent explaination middle game 👍

[@ChesscomGames]

Thanks Justin!

[@gilbertoramirez5389]

Muchas gracias a ambos. Karpov es un maestro!!

[@patturtem2187]

Thank you for teaching us to play chess. It's a great help for us beginners to be taught by grandmaster like Sir Karpov. Give us more!

[@fayskelley]

why on earth did not not have the camera show the beginning of the game up to the position ? for us beginners ???

[@ChesscomGames]

He is telling the moves at the begining, but I agree it is very fast. It is a very old course anyway (but very very good), and it was focused on the middlegame that's why they don't speak so much about the opening in this video.

[@coolhari2000]

Fantastic

[@Jduran0808]

Damnnnn look how small Karpov looks sitting across Roman!

[@uchihadante77]

"If you don´t make f5 and open this bishop,you win this game easily".I love how Karpov thinks.

[@ChesscomGames]

gracias a ud. gilberto!

[@frank124c]

Great video, I learned to block doubled pawns just from watching, never really knew what to do when opponent has such pawns before. But I do prefer a flat board to a 3D board because the 3D board is harder to see.

[@markmagennis8798]

Thank you I learn a lot from your videos.

[@lordshifu]

what a godly idea!! excellent..... i always wanted to play something like this :) winning a material but actually keeping pieces in the board!

Wonderful video

[@itsraja4u]

Good to learn from great master. out of 3 lessons I like middle game training is best.

[@Uffareel]

much better on 2nd game, that is how it should be presented, thats the only gripe i had otherwise very nice instruction by karpov and roman

Holy shit, who expected Karpov to sound like that? Chess fan for a while, but I've never actually heard him speak. His English is quite good, but that I expected!

Didn't that larger man (Roman Dzindzichashvili?) have a cameo in 'Searching for Bobby Fischer'? He seems awfully familiar.

[@InSpadez]

right?

[@lebarosky]

God bless you sir, for pointing that out. I would never have figured out that the Georgian grandmaster was, in fact, a grandmaster. Oh, by the way, if you find your sense of humor, let me know.

guys wtf. is this 1/2 scale of karpov? or the other guy is huge? :) i wish i had also a small karpov at my home to teach me chess. may be 1/10 scale karpov as a travel chess set.

[@zonamamuta]

Is this the original for Between two ferns?:) just joking, great video

[@Andalus710]

Yeah probably..Seems like Karpov is more likable but I don't think that would mean he's better than kasparov in chess? Both were giants and battled for years, but I think the reason why Kasparov became so famous is because he always does the extraordinary in games, I think this small imaginative character in kasparov gave him fame and made him, arguably, the greatest chess player of all time.

Bro I literally thought the title said Kasparov lol

If it wasn't for Kasparov, Karpov would have been champion for a long time. Just unfortunate for him.
