00:00Why Gary made this choice? Because it's such a sharp opening. Karpov had to win and you needed just a draw.
00:07Could you find something safer? And I thought, no, that was the wrong choice. It's a game of my life.
00:14It's a game of Karpov's life. He has to win. But if we play a position where I feel more comfortable,

01:43Karpov lost this game. No more e4 against me. Only d4.
01:48He just realized that that was not his move.
01:51So I can use this example as an advice.
01:57So you should also realize what is...
