🔹 Anatoly Karpov
🔹 Russian chess Grandmaster
🔹 Former World Champion
🔰 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)
🔘 World Champion: 1975–1985
1993–1999 (FIDE)
🔘 FIDE rating: 2623 (June 2018)
🔘 Peak rating: 2780 (July 1994)
🔰 Though a world championship match between Karpov and Fischer was highly anticipated, those hopes were never realised. Fischer not only insisted that the match be the first to ten wins (draws not counting), but also that the champion would retain the crown if the score was tied 9–9. FIDE, the International Chess Federation, refused to allow this proviso, and after Fischer's resignation of the championship on June 27, 1975, FIDE declared that Fischer forfeited his crown. Karpov later attempted to set up another match with Fischer, but all the negotiations fell through. This thrust the young Karpov into the role of World Champion without having faced the reigning champion. Garry Kasparov argued that Karpov would have had good chances, because he had beaten Spassky convincingly and was a new breed of tough professional, and indeed had higher quality games, while Fischer had been inactive for three years. Spassky thought that Fischer would have won in 1975 but Karpov would have qualified again and beaten Fischer in 1978.

Preventing White from playing Ng4. However, this move turns out to be a horrendous tactical blunder.

The winner of the candidates Tournament 2018, Fabiano Caruana was very lucky that Mamedyarov didn't see the winning continuation.

24.Bd3!
The white pieces are prepared to sacrifice their dignity to keep the enemy shutout.
24...Qe6
Intending 25...Nc4 or perhaps even the heroic 25...Qc4!? in some cases.
25.Bc1!
After all his retreating moves, Topalov is ready to strike with 26 f5!. Then the advantages he has carefully hoarded – the bishop pair and mobile center pawns – will rip away the black kingside pawns and leave his king defenseless.
25...f5 26.Qe2
Topalov refuses to be hurried. His queen move rules out 26...Nc4.
26...Kf8
Fearing White's light-squared bishop, Kramnik puts his king on to a dark square.
27.Rd1
Another patient move. The bishop on d3 is overprotected so that the white queen is freed for action.
27...Qe7 28.h4!
At long last, the Bulgarian Grandmaster begins to utilize his kingside pawns. The idea is to break through with Rh1 and h4-h5, followed by conquering the f5-pawn. Then nothing would hold back the white rooks and bishops from their assault on the black king.
