Play like Karpov. He is a good positional squeezer.

Yeah, all you need to do is play like Karpov. Shouldn't be too hard.
Haha...play like Karpov...
I have some suggestions:
The Krasenkow variation of the KID
6.a4 in the Najdorf
uhh...yea its late and I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. More later!
I would recommend the Ruy Lopez. One slip and black may find his position completely without play

I was under the impression that prophylactic play was preventing your opponent from having opportunities rather than creating any yourself
