Support the channel on / asmrchess
See the game below
Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov, known as Tolya to his friends, (born May 23, 1951) is a Soviet and Russian chess grandmaster and former World Chess Champion. He was the 12th World Chess Champion from 1975 to 1985, a three-time FIDE World Champion (1993, 1996, 1998), twice World Chess champion as a member of the USSR team (1985, 1989), and a six-time winner of Chess Olympiads as a member of the USSR team (1972, 1974, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1988). The International Association of Chess Press awarded him nine Chess "Oscars" (1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1984).
In other words he was pretty good at chess.
Karpov's tournament successes include over 160 first-place finishes. He had a peak Elo rating of 2780, and his 102 total months at world number one is the third-longest of all time, behind Magnus Carlsen and Garry Kasparov, since the inception of the FIDE ranking list in 1970.
In 1974 he played the Olympiad in Nice for the Soviet team (who won the event) and played an absolute masterpiece of positional chess against the german grandmaster Wolfgang Unzicker.
Even by modern standards the game is near perfect.

    Hey ASMR chess, I just want to say that I played in my first OTB tournament this week and was really nervous, but when sitting at the board i thought of you narrating about the different pieces before the battle. It calmed my nerves and I managed to tie for 1st at the end of the day. I love your narration of these master games because your slow methodical approach allows even those at the 2000+ elo level a deeper understanding for the positions and ideas behind them. Sorry for the tangent, guess I am trying to say that you do good work!

    A few comments on Wolfgang Unzicker, cuz he wasn't a pushover: -He's played 386 classical games for the german national team in 13 Olympics, national record -Peak Elo (historical) 2686 -He beat Fisher -he beat Botvinnik -he was a chess amateur who played chess in his free time, for fun, he worked as a Lawyer, Karpov called him the "world champion of amateurs"

I love the likes of Karpov and Petrosian as I've commented in a previous video asking for something like this. You did incredible and blasted by my expectations, that were already high as they were. Your commentary is wonderful as always. I would like to see you do more videos of great positional masterpieces. That quote about being like water and the wall, it gave me chills, such an awesome way of looking at it.

    Since he was so outmatched positionally I wonder if Unzincker would have had more success in this game sacrificing material to catch back up in position. There were a couple of times it felt like he could break through that wall of pawns by sacrificing a knight and attempting to catch up on material afterwards. I'm probably wrong.
