La magia di Karpov

Kasparov,G (2740) - Karpov,A (2700) [A29]
World Championship 34th-KK4 Seville (2), 14.10.1987

Karpov mette fin dall'inizio il piede sull'acceleratore, sfoderando una novità che influirà su tutta la partita inglese per più di un decennio e amalgamando sapientemente gioco posizionale e guerra psicologica.

1.c4!? Dopo il match Karpov disse di non aspettarsi l'inglese. 1...e5 2.Cc3 Cf6 3.Cf3 Cc6 4.g3 Ab4 5.Ag2 0-0 6.0-0 e4 7.Cg5 Axc3 8.bxc3 Te8 9.f3 Se 9.d3 exd3 10.exd3 h6 11.Ce4 b6 12.Af4 Ab7 13.Te1 Ca5 e il nero ha la parità 9...e3!?10.d3! Giocare ad altissimi livelli non dev'essere poi così difficile...Fischer si sorprese quando seppe che Kasparov spese un'ora e ventitreminuti per questa mossa che considerava "unica". In realtà Fischer si sbagliava, perchè è altrettanto forte la presa del pedone con 10.dxe3 De7 (o anche 10...b6 ) 11.Ch3 Dc5 12.Cf4 Dxc4 13.e4 d6 e il gioco è pari. 10...d5 11.Db3!! Una mossa psicologicamente molto forte.
Kasparov, nonostante la pressione psicologica, trova il set up migliore per il bianco.
Un simile trattamento d'apertura ricorda la confutazione, trovata a tavolino, da Capablanca contro Marshall nel lontano 1908. 11...Ca5 12.Da3 c6 13.cxd5 cxd5 14.f4 Cc6 15.Tb1 Una mossa che ha diviso i commentatori, personalmente non mi sembra il piano più naturale e probabilmente Kasparov ha voluto evitare un gioco passivo che poco si addice al suo stile; probabilmente è migliore 15.Ab2 Ag4 16.Tae1 h6 17.Cf3 Dc7 e la maggiore attività dei pezzi neri è compensata dalla coppia degli alfieri.] 15...Dc7 16.Ab2 Ag4 17.c4 che altro? Di certo 17.Tbe1 avrebbe significato il fallimento della quindicesima del bianco.;
io avrei giocato 17.Tfe1 Tad8 18.Aa1 (anche 18.Cf3 può essere interessante.) 18...Dd7 19.Cf3 b6 20.Da4 con parità 17...dxc4! aprendo il gioco per i propri pezzi, meglio piazzati e sopratutto centralizzati. 18.Axf6gxf6 19.Ce4 Rg7 20.dxc4 un errore che, alla luce di come sono andate le cose, sembra già chiudere la partita.
La magia di Karpov spesso sta in questo, perdi e neanche te ne accorgi... 20.Cd6!? è un'idea suggerita da Bronstein.;
dopo 20.Dc3 Dd8 21.Txb7 Cd4 22.Dxc4 Cxe2+ 23.Rh1 Ae6 24.Dc5 la posizione è pari. 20...Tad8 21.Tb3? Anche dopo 21.Cc3 Td2 22.Tfe1 Cd4 23.Txb7 Dxc4 24.Dxa7 Cxe2+ 25.Cxe2 Txe2 26.Txe2 Axe2 il nero avrebbe avuto partita vinta . 21...Cd4 22.Txe3 Dxc4 il trionfo della centralizzazione! 23.Rh1 Cf5!? Una mossa giocata per lo più per la forza "psicologica".
Kasparov si ritrovava in fortissimo zeitnot, Karpov sceglie quindi il seguito che quasi sicuramente non era stato calcolato dal suo avversario. Dopo la normale 23...Cc2 24.Db2 Cxe3 25.Dxf6+ Rg8 26.Dg5+ Rf8 27.Dh6+ Re7 28.Dg5+ Rd7 29.Cf6+ Rc8 30.Cxg4 Cxf1 il nero ha troppo materiale in più. 24.Td3 Axe2 25.Txd8 Txd8 26.Te1 Te8! Adesso la partita è proprio finita.27.Da5 b5 28.Cd2 Dd3 29.Cb3 Af3 30.Axf3 Dxf3+ 31.Rg1 Txe1+ 32.Dxe1 Ce3 0-1

«Chess mastery essentially consists of analyzing chess positions accurately.»M.M. Botvinnik

«We have learnt how to organize manufacturing plants, but not our general education, our mental work. I believe I am safe in voicing the opinion that our efforts in chess attain only a hundredth percent of their rightful result. Education in chess has to be an education in independent thinking and judging. Chess must not be memorized, simply because it is not important enough. You should keep in mind no names, nor numbers, nor isolated incidents, not even results, but only methods . The method is plastic. It is applicable in every situation. The method produces numerous results.» E. Lasker

«If it is true that a player's style is his person, then everyone plays as he is intended to by nature. I am naturally cautious, and I altogether dislike situations which involve risk.» T.V. Petrosian

«Help your pieces so they can help you» P. Morphy

«I believe that real creativity comes when your master the ability to connect different parts of your experience and perception, sometimes even small chaotic pieces of it, witch at first sight don't seem to be directly related. When you're pressed for time it is sometimes necessary to expand the dimension of your brain-work, from logic based on knowledge into the so-called "associative level.»Alexiey Shirov

«I played the strongest chess of my career in the period from 1958 to 1963, i.e. In the years when I was fighting for the chess crown. I was inspired by the struggle itself, but when a person has achieved his desire, his ardour cools. This is inevitable. As you grow older you become sated, and the sharpness of your feelings is gradually erased.»T.V. Petrosian

«Any amateur can look at top-level games, and instead of appreciating the mystery behind the moves they will simply look at the evaluation of the computer. I'm not afraid the computer will find all the ideas and leave no room for imagination.» M.Carlsen

«Chess is like a language, the top players are very fluent at it. Talent can be developed scientifically but you have to find first what you are good at.» W. Anand

«Enormous self-belief, intuition, the ability to take a risk at a critical moment and go in for a very dangerous play with counter-chances for the opponent - it is precisely these qualities that distinguish great players.» G.Kasparov.

«Kasparov and I have nothing in common. For me chess was the end, for him it has merely been the means.» A. Karpov

«When I asked Fischer why he had not played a certain move in our game, he replied: ‘Well, you laughed when I wrote it down!’»M. Tal

«I like the moment when I break a man’s ego» Bobby Fischer

«It is difficult to play against Einstein’s theory.» M.Tal (on his first loss to Fischer).

«When you play Bobby, it is not a question if you win or lose. It is a question if you survive» B. Spassky

«Yes, I have played a blitz game once. It was on a train, in 1929.» M.Botvinnik

«Like dogs who sniff each other when meeting, chess players have a ritual at first acquaintance: they sit down to play speed chess.» A. Karpov

«Why must I lose to this idiot?»A. Nimzovich

«The stomach is an essential part of the Chess master» B. Larsen

«In 1996, the players at the VSB tournament in Amsterdam sent me a card for my wedding with this dedication 'Anand congrats on your wedding. You were a great player, now be ready to lose 50 points'.» W. Anand

«He who fears an isolated Queen’s Pawn should give up Chess» S. Tarrasch

«The passed Pawn is a criminal, who should be kept under lock and key.  Mild measures, such as police surveillance, are not sufficient» A. Nimzovich

«Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.» R.J. Fischer.

«There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and mine.» M. Tal

«A sacrifice is best refuted by accepting it» Wilhelm Steinitz

«Chess was Capablanca’s mother tongue» R.Reti

«A passed Pawn increases in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes» J.R. Capablanca

«The work of a chess player is similar to a blast furnace process: it is continuous and demands a heated passion for chess.» A. Suetin

«It is not enough to be a good player... you must also play well» Siegbert Tarrasch

«Later, I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realized a very simple truth: not only was I worried, but also my opponent» M. Tal

«I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn’t even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess.» M. Carlsen

“No Chess Grandmaster is normal; they only differ in the extent of their madness». V. Korchnoi

A bad plan is better than none at all» F. Marshall

«I don’t beleve in psichology, i beleve in good moves.» R.J.Fischer

«The battle for the ultimate truth will never be won. And that’s why Chess is so fascinating» H. Kmoch

«Chess is thirty to forty percent psychology. You don’t have this when you play a computer. I can’t confuse it.» J. Polgar

«Chess is 99 percent tactics.» Teichmann

«Look at Garry Kasparov. After he loses, invariably he wins the next game. He just kills the next guy. That’s something that we have to learn to be able to do» M. Ashley

«Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them.» M.Carlsen
