Anatoly Karpov’s Caro-Kann Games

The Caro-Kann played by Anatoly Karpov, the greatest Caro-Kann player and theoretician of all time. Learn the Caro-Kann from Alireza Firouzja: Learn the Caro-Kann from Gukesh: Learn the Caro-Kann from Nihal Sarin: If you wanna learn an opening, you should study games by top players that play it regularly. When it comes to the Caro-Kann, Anatoly Karpov is by far the best source of knowledge. His games feature thematic ideas and patterns all players should be familiar with. I have chosen games played in the variation that got named after Karpov too, his signature move Nd7, which became popular after he started playing it against the strongest players in the world successfully. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Kamsky - Karpov, Dortmund 1993 Karpo
