2 nice photos of Karpov, one of him observing a match at the 1978 World Championship, the other of him looking quite sinister in 1977.


Both amazing pictures, Karpov had real style.

to me karpov when he was really thin looked to me like one of those gangsters that would ambush you with a knife in a dark alley.

I was asked to post this photo.  The subject, who is at a chessboard, is the world champion of a different board game. Does anyone know him?

The guy has the board set up wrong, he can't be any good at chess.
