🔸 Chess Russian Grandmaster

♦️ Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov is a Russian chess grandmaster and former World Champion.
He was the official world champion from 1975 to 1985 when he was defeated by Garry Kasparov.

🔹 Full name: Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov
🔹 Country: Soviet Union Russia
🔹 Born: May 23, 1951 (age 67) Zlatoust, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union
🔹 Title Grandmaster (1970)

♦️Karpov was thrice Soviet Champion: in 1976, 1983 and 1988, on the latter occasion sharing the title with Kasparov. In 1993 Karpov regained the FIDE title against Jan Timman in Karpov - Timman FIDE World Championship (1993), after Kasparov had broken away from the organization. He successfully defended his title against Gata Kamsky in Karpov - Kamsky FIDE World Championship (1996) and Viswanathan Anand in Karpov - Anand World Championship Match (1998). In 1999 FIDE changed the rules, deciding that the World Champion would be determined by an annual knockout tournament, and Karpov retired from championship competition.

♦️Karpov's last match is against Hoe Yifan in China.
The China-Russia Chess Champion match took place in Harbin, China 5th-6th February 2018. Hou Yifan plays Anatoly Karpov in a 6 game rapid match. Karpov won 3.5-2.5 with the final day's games being shared 1-1.

Noroozi's carelessness which Kuzubov exploits perfectly.

📕 16.Ba3!
Good decision.White bishop probably has no better place and white rooks want to be placed on the c-file, so this move serves both goals.
16.Nd2 Bxg2 17.Kxg2 Nfd5 Black is fine.
16.h3 Be4! In the Queen's Indian Defense, black is going aim his light-squared bishop and knight at e4 in order to restrain the moves e4 and to prevent d4 to d5.
