In this unique video, we get to hear the innermost thoughts of Kasparov and Karpov during their 1990 championship. The battle begins way before the first move is played on the board. The preparation for a match involves finding opening novelties, considering each player’s strengths and weaknesses and a fair amount of psychology too. Would having played each other so many times before be an advantage or disadvantage for Kasparov and Karpov? In these interviews we hear Garry’s assessment of Karpov’s openings and how this influenced the decision over which first move to go with. In a match which ultimately saw 7 wins and 17 draws, it’s interesting that all the victories went to White. Karpov puts forward his claim that he’s virtually unbeatable with White at the time of this match. When it is Anatoly’s turn with the White pieces, he invariably opens 1.d4. However, he had to contend with both the Grunfeld and King’s Indian Defense in response. When Garry had the first move, he chose 1.e4 and most of the time this leads to a Ruy Lopez/Spanish Opening – Karpov’s favorite. However, Garry had a surprise weapon. In 3 games, he played 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 — the Scotch opening. The first time it had been played in a World Championship match since 104 years. We get to hear both players explaining their match strategy: why they chose specific moves, how they felt during the match and how they rated their own and each other’s play. Garry also reveals which openings he considers to be “100% correct”. Don’t miss this opportunity to get inside the minds of two of the greatest chess players of all time.
