It is the final game (Game No. 24) between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov at the 1985 World Chess Championship. Karpov was the reigning world champion, and young Kasparov was contesting for the title. The score was 12-11 in favor of Garry Kasparov, and Anatoly Karpov needed to win the final game as White to equalize the score and retain the title. On the other hand, Kasparov would be satisfied with just a draw as Black. Therefore, the stakes were incredibly high! This game also serves as a great illustration of the Sicilian Defense opening. You will learn a lot about this opening from this game, especially the Najdorf Variation, which was the favorite opening of Garry Kasparov and, earlier, Bobby Fischer. This is the game that captivated GM Igor Smirnov back in the day and got him into chess. Here he is today, playing chess for over 30 years and becoming a grandmaster. This game is filled with deep positional moves, subtle strategic maneuvers, prophylactic moves that require deep calculation, and, of course, some brilliant sacrifices. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Chapters 00:00 Karpov vs Kasparov, World Chess Championship 1985 00:21 Context of the game: Karpov's title is on the line 01:12 Why the Najdorf Variation? 03:16 Karpov's prophylactic move 05:45 Karpov's deep, positional thinking 07:47 Maneuvering the pieces gradually 10:07 Kasparov defends the checkmate threat on time 11:45 Garry Kasparov's brilliant move 12:23 Karpov's first inaccuracy?! 17:40 Brilliant positional sacrifice 20:17 Karpov's fatal blunder ► Follow RCA on social media Facebook: www.facebook.com/RemoteChessAcademy Instagram: www.instagram.com/gm.igorsmirnov/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@gmigorsmirnov X (Twitter): x.com/GMIgorSmirnov/ #IgorNation #AnatolyKarpov #GarryKasparov #Kasparov #Karpov #WorldChessChampionship
