00:00And by the way, you know, I realize that flexibility is quite important.

00:05I knew it before when I played Karpov, but sometimes when you do play well and you are on the top for so long,

00:13you lose a sense of danger.

00:16You believe that you can play this, that line.

00:19You always, you know, you always prevail.

00:21No, it's not necessary.

00:24There's certain positions that your opponent can do better.

00:27And eliminating queens definitely was not the right choice for me because I was very good in geometry.

00:34I was very good in tactics.

00:35Kramnik also was very good in tactics.

00:36But still, if we compare our performance in the endgame without queens or in a sharp position with queens,

00:45you can guess where I had my best chance of winning.

00:49Though, again, as I said, I beat Kramnik in the endgame by playing a very sharp line,

00:55eventually sacrificing the pawn and creating an amazing attack in this middle game without queens.

01:02The fact is that Karpov stopped playing e4 altogether after game 24, 90, and e5.

01:07It doesn't mean that he has abandoned his repertoire.

01:09He has been playing d4 already.

01:12You can hardly name a player that, modern player who played exclusively only one move.

01:18Karpov played d4 not very often, not as often as he played e4, but he played even against Spassky, for instance, in 1974.

01:29I believe it was one of his best matches.

01:32He beat Spassky very convincingly.

01:34So he played d4.

01:35He switched after losing game one in Skeveningen also.

01:38He switched to d4, and he also switched to Karakhan from his classical Rui Lopez.

01:43That was his traditional choice.

01:46And it worked well for him.

01:49But still, you know, when he played Korchnoi and he played other big matches and big tournaments,

01:56so e4 was his exclusive weapon.
