@Varelse1, that’s too simplistic a view of Kasparov’s approach to the game. His Garry Gambit line was an attempt to throw Karpov off his stride.He played the Tarrasch for a while, and the KID for many years despite knowing they weren’t objectively best.
Kasparov was first and foremost a fighter. He sought dynamic openings that gave him a chance for the full point. As Maurice Ashley pointed out, after Kasparov’s rare losses, he always came back meaner and usually won several games in a row.
Kasparov titled his first autobiography “Fighting Chess”.
