I’ve learned over the years that it’s impossible to please everybody. Some people unfortunately came up a little short with their own achievements. That’s why they constantly attack and insult others who are way more successful to forget about their own failures. Sad! 👎

Moscow-1982, Interzonal tournament. The defeat by Alexander Belyavsky left the ex-world champion in 3-4 places. The draw was enough to leave the candidates' matches. But it was the tournament of Garry Kasparov and "Big Sasha"!

As we can see here, Kasparov has requested to check Karpov's chair, just in case if there are no electronic devices.😅 Fischer and Korchnoi would be proud.

An awesome Sicilian Najdorf with young talent and Grandmaster
Prodigy did a solid opening and started a very good attack in the king side. In the other hand, grandmaster worked hard to equalize the game.
