00:00I believed, you know, that I could, you know, find some weaknesses there.
00:04By the way, I found eventually, I beat Kramnik, won a very nice game in Astana in 2001.
00:12I was very close winning against him in Vykanze in 2001 after the match.
00:17But during the match, it was stupid of me.
00:19And by the way, I paid an ultimate price.
00:21So you do something you don't have to do, Keisha forces you to pay a price.
00:26And I did pay this price, and I learned my lesson.
00:30So I still played E4 against Kramnik, but I also played D4.
00:34And by the way, you know, I realized that flexibility is quite important.
00:39I knew it before when I played Karpov, but sometimes when you do play well,
00:45and you are on the top for so long, you lose a sense of danger.
00:50You believe that you can play this, that line, you always, you know, you always prevail.
00:55No, it's not necessary.
00:58There's certain positions that your opponent can do better.
01:01And eliminating queens definitely was not the right choice for me.
01:06Because I was very good in geometry.
01:08I was very good in tactics.
01:09Kramnik also was very good in tactics.
01:11But still, if we compare our performance in the endgame without queens,
01:16or in the sharp position with queens,
01:19you can guess where I had my best chance of winning.
01:23Though, again, as I said, I beat Kramnik in endgame.
01:27By the way, playing a very sharp, you know, line,
01:29eventually sacrificing the pawn and creating an amazing attack
01:32in this middle game without queens.
01:36The fact is that Karpov stopped playing E4 altogether after game 24, 1995.
01:41It doesn't mean that he has abandoned his repertoire.
01:43He has been playing D4 already.
01:45You can hardly name a player that, modern player who played exclusively only one move.
01:53Karpov played D4 not very often, not as often as he played E4,
01:59but he played E4.
02:00But he played E4.
02:00But he played E4.
