Descriptive analysis #1 (Karpov-Kasparov)

There are 5 questions hidden in this text.

Enjoy it!

Question 5: I guess Karpov was just low on time so he decided to repeat moves to gain time from the increment.

There was not any time increment then. It was 1985 :) nevertheless nic try!

wonderful comination from karpov

Guys, c'mon! It's a coaching group! I'd like to give you something but you need to participate.

I don't want to ask you every time. If you want to improve just cooperate.

Q5: That might be to bring his Bishop, in a good centralised position in order to attack the black's king and improve his mating net. 

What about rest of these questions?

Q1: I think white would have developed his king side knight and then his dark colored bishop in order to attack the black queen and also controlling the centre.

Q3:http://www.chess.com/chessopedia/view/principle-of-two-weaknesses

@mateusz cn you pls elaborate on this?

Q4: If white would have traded his queens he would had loose his mating net(As he had a light colored bishop light color bishop is an important one for white as after castling and also in the starting match position the black's king is on white square, the adjacent square of king is also white).

According to me the chances of promotion of d-file pawn for black would have increase if queens would be traded.

Hope I'm correct.

Q1: really not sure.

Q2: nimzowitsch, right?

Q3: 2 weaknesses=if an opponent has 1 weakness (weak pawn or square, etc.) that must be defended, try to create another weakness so that your opponent must guard on 2 different levels.

Q4:Black has a passed pawn that will need to be attended to. Also, removing queens looks to be more drawish to me. Better to keep the strongest piece on the table if you plan to attack.

Q5: to show that he was able to get a draw thus controlling the game, but was playing for the win.

Playing through Karpov's games is always amazing to me because of his positional genius. Positional chess is not my strong point so it is interesting to watch a master.

Thanks for the analysis Mateusz!

Otherplanes was almost entirely right.

Q1: Kasparov avoided the Carlsbad structure.  3...Nf6 4. cd5 ed5 and 5. Bg5. It's absolutely playable but on the other hand it's found difficult to play for Black.

Q5: Karpov tried to create a psycholigical pressure on Kasparov. "I am repeating moves and you probably think it's gonna end up in a draw. Poof, let's play!" :)

Thanks for participating.

The next game soon.

If you want me to explain you some motive just let me know and I'll do my best!

I encourage to cooperate!

Other answer were right of course!

Q5: Yeah, i like that technique. Saying to the opponent "Here we could have a draw, but now I will beat you!"

it makes sense only when the position is almost equal and we have slightly better position.

Q6 - Who was the first player who discovered that the psychology was really useful for chess players?

Q6: Lasker was an early psychological player. I don't know if he was the first who you are refering to.

Yes I meant Lasker.

Rubinstein for example played againts the pieces not the opponent.
