]]> Kasparov – Privorotsky, 1974

The following game was played by 12 year old Garry Kasparov in the Bakiu team tournament back in 1974.

His opponent, Oleg Privorotsky, was strong Baku master and one of his trainers at that moment. Thus, the game is interesting not only from the competetive, but also from psychological point of view.

The variations are taken from Kasparov’s book – Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov, Part One, 1973-1985.

]]> Karpov – Kasparov, 1985

In today’s post, we are going to examine three positions from the 2nd game from the 2nd match between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov.

In this sharp Sicilian encounter, Kasparov, playing the Black pieces, suffered a bit after a mistake opening, but then Karpov returned the favour and made a passive move which allowed Kasparov to grab the initiative in his typical manner.

In the end, Kasparov didn’t convert his advantage though, but his play in the middlegame was extremely strong and impressive.

The variations are taken from the book Kasparov vs Karpov, 1975-1985.

Good luck!

Position 1

Karpov’s last move has been the strange looking Rfc1. How did Kasparov exploit this inaccuracy?

Position 2

In this position,Karpov played d6! How do you refute White playing Bf3 instead?

Position 3

Here Kasparov played Qh6 and the game was prolonged? Can you find the immediate winning idea?

]]> Kasparov – Seirawan, Skelleftea, 1989

The following encounter in the Modern Benoni between the 13th World Champion and American Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan presents a great training material. The game is reach in tactical possibilities and is excellent for calculation exercise.

We have singled out three particular positions from the game for the readers to solve. Take some time in every position and try to determine the best move for Black, but also try to take White’s resources into account.

The variations are approved by Kasparov himself, as they are taken from his book, “Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov, 1985- 1993”.

Hope you will enjoy it!

Good luck!

Position 1

Kasparov played Nf4 in this position. Can you find a stronger alternative?

Position 2

Can you find the best move for Black in this position?

Position 3

Solutions:
