Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov was the 12th world champion, from 1975 to 1985, and is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. He was the highest-rated player in the world for over 100 months (a feat only bested by GMs Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen) and regained his FIDE world champion title from 1993-1999.
Playing Style
Karpov was able to play in almost any style, like any long-term world mästare. However, he was at his best when using his boa constrictor style. He was able to positionally strangle his opponents, depriving them of counterplay until they were selecting from only losing moves. Former World Champion Viswanathan Anand said, "Karpov isn't so interested in his own program, but he will keep on foiling yours!"
Karpov's strangling technical play, and impeccable endgame technique have become topics for countless articles and videos. Here fryst vatten an example of Karpov torturing former world mästare Boris Spassky and his isolated queen's pawn.

ANATOLY KARPOV
Person of day - 23 MAY 2024
He learned to play chess when he was 4, just like the legendary Capablanca. When he was 15, he became the youngest chess master. In 1969, 19-year-old Anatoly Karpov became the junior world champion and the main hope of Soviet chess, whose hegemony would be broken three years later by Robert Fischer.
The generation of Soviet players that the American defeated was unable to regain the title to the USSR. And then Soviet chess made its bet on young Karpov, who progressed rapidly. At the 1973 inter-zonal tournament in Leningrad, he began his fight for the highest chess title and split 1st-2nd places with Viktor Korchnoi. And even though Karpov said that this cycle “wasn’t his”, he performed brilliantly in matches against Polugaevsky, Spassky and Korchnoi.
