World Cup Chess 1982 - GM Anatoly Karpov v GM Boris Spassky final TIEBREAK

Played in Hamburg - The two-leg tiebreak. Commentary assistance by a young 22 year old Yasser Seirawan.

Nice to see this tiebreaker again. I seem to remember that Britain's John Nunn was the only player to remain undefeated in this tournament, but there were no semi-finals, so out he went ! It's a shame we didn't see the cup presented at the end.

Old school! 1980s were different to now, I was 20ish. Great clip!

Feels weird hearing a young Yasser. What a legend

Thanks for showing rare game because both Boris Spasky and Anotoly Karpov are very beautiful girl But Boris Spasky not smoking against Bobby Fisher in Reykjavik but it's seems Boris Spasky confident like Mikail Tal also smoke. So smoking is OK but Anotoly Karpov allowing Boris Spasky to concentrate on smoking 🚬 and won the match

Sending smoke over the chess board into your opponents eyes, oh those were the days! Alas, in this case it didn't work lol

[@orpheus2883]

Playing with eyes closed solves the problem!
