00:00find some weaknesses there. By the way, I found eventually, I beat Kramnik, won a very nice game
00:06in Astana in 2001. I was very close winning against him in Vikon Zay in 2001 after the match.
00:14But during the match, it was stupid of me. And by the way, I paid an ultimate price.
00:18So you do something you don't have to do, Keisha forces you to pay a price. And I did
00:25pay this price and I learned my lesson. So I still played E4 against Kramnik, but I also
00:31played D4. And by the way, I realized that flexibility is quite important. I knew it before
00:38when I played Karpov, but sometimes when you do play well and you are on the top for so
00:44long, you lose a sense of danger. You believe that you can play this line, that line. You
00:50always, you know, you always prevail. No, it's not necessary. There's certain positions
00:56that your opponent can do better. And eliminating queens definitely was not the right choice for
01:03me because I was very good in geometry. I was very good in tactics. Kramnik also was very
01:07good in tactics. But still, if we compare our performance in the endgame without queens or
01:14in a sharp position with queens, you can guess where I had my best chance of winning. Though
01:21again, as I said, I beat Kramnik in the endgame by playing very sharp, you know, line, eventually
01:27sacrificing the pawn and creating an amazing attack in this middle game without queens.
01:33The fact is that Karpov stopped playing E4 altogether after game 24-19 and E5. It doesn't
01:38mean that he has abandoned his repertoire. He has been playing D4 already. You can hardly,
01:44name a player that, modern player, who played exclusively only one move. Karpov played D4, not
01:52very often, not as often as he played E4, but he played even against Spassky, for instance,
01:59in, in 90.
