00:00I'm sure for young players it takes 10 seconds to have a tree with all the games played in a certain opening.
00:07Some people think it kills creativity, but if you are open-minded, it could actually enhance your creativity
00:17because you can see quickly what's happened, all the moves that we've made before, and look for a new idea.
00:30I always believed that there was room for creativity in the openings,
00:36and that's why I spent a lot of time looking for old openings that were abandoned in the 80s.
00:45Let's not forget, in the 80s, Evans Gambit and, of course, Scotch, they were just totally abandoned,
00:53belonged to the 19th century.
00:55Nobody expected these openings to make a comeback.
01:00I played it. I played against Karpov.
01:02I played as Scotch very successfully against all the top players,
01:06including my World Championship match against Karpov and against Nigel Shaw.
01:12I played Evans Gambit, though, of course, it didn't last for too long.
01:18Now we understand. It's not refuted, but obviously white cannot expect to gain an advantage
01:27if black is comfortable with playing this opening and that few ways for black to get a very decent position.
01:40But again, we're talking about top players. We're talking about strong grandmasters.
01:47But even within the realm of classical openings, you always have different lines, sharper lines or more so.
01:59Or more so.
02:00Or more so.
