1... a6! After a few moments hesitation. I watched Karpov's face as he returned to the board - there was no reaction at all. The audience, though, was another matter. Conditions for spectators were not wonderful so at first only a few noticed, but after some nudging and pointing a general hushed sniggering broke out. Mutters of "I thought the Skara Schools Championship was not until next week..." I tried to look serious. Miles is the only grandmaster to have espoused this weird defence in a serious game. This extraordinary move is hardly ever played since it does little to challenge White's domination of the centre. Miles chose it primarily to sidestep the then world champion's superior knowledge of opening theory.

He was Miles behind ;)
+Seanus32 :)
Miles ahead*
@@TheWaan123 He's talking about Karpov, you dimwit
5:13
1) Bxh7+, Kxh7; 2) Ng5+, Ke6; 3) Qg4, f5; 4) Qg3, Qd4 and then white continues with 5) Ne4+ (cutting off the black queen on d4!
Now if black continues with 5) ...., Kf7, then 6) Nd6+ wins the bishop on b7
And if 5) .…, Kh7 then 6) Qh3+, Kg6 ; 7)Qh7+ (forces black to take the night on g5 . So, 6).…, Kxg5; 8) Qxg7+, and it doesn’t matter where the black king moves, Qg3++!
So white wins either a piece or the game....
9:26
After ....Bc6;
1) Nf6, if gxf6, then 2) Qh5! and if Bxg6 then 2) exf6, gxf6; 3) Qh5 with all sorts of threats.
Karpov could’ve played Nf6 sooner, I think....
_"And now I think any one of you could play this against Karpov and you would not lose"_
Only if I could immediately swap all the pawns for queens, the bishops for a couple of machine gun nests and moved my king to another board and even then, it'd be a close run thing.
This comment wins.
lol
You really underestimate my abillities to throw a game
LOL!!
Yesterday I lost from a completely winning position being a piece and 2 pawns up against my girlfriend that she took it as an offense because she thought I was letting her win. And I said something similar “you underestimate my power to blunder”
I am pretty sure my ability in that respect is far greater than yours!
"And now I think any one of you could play this against karpov and you would not lose" woah easy there bud
challenge accepted
+Sterric Kunt Maybe a bit too much, but I wanted to state just how superior black's position was :D
Yea I would definitely blunder and lose lol
Buster Cherry is it just me or do others blunder their pieces to some bishop hiding in the corner?
This happens to me all the time in blitz or rapid.
Sterric Kunt I do that all the time on blitz.. I get to focused on my attack and lose track of all the squares my opponents pieces control. It's the worst when you're low on time too. Or have a completely winning position lol
I played Tony Miles in the late Eightees. Challenged him after he finished his game in the German Bundesliga. Very nice guy. Rest in peace.
"And now I think any one of you could play this against karpov and you would not lose", well... prepare yourself, you're about to get impressed ...
It's interesting that Miles opened the game by flanking Karpov. When utilizing a flank (in any combat situation), you are acknowledging that you can't take your opponent head-on, and so you must out-position him or take him by surprise. A6 served as the beginning of a flank in the game, and in pushing Karpov immediately off of his superior opening theory, proved to be a psychological flank as well.
I'm sorry but flanking does not necessitate a weakness of the flanking side. It's a maneuver. Nothing more, nothing less. Even superior forces can and have flanked inferior ones.
Clashing head on is almost never a good idea.
I played Miles in 1974. He played 40 of the best primary school kids. still got his autograph on the certificate.
I saw a video where Tony Miles said Karpov is so prepared that it's almost impossible to get an opening advantage. I love that he found a way.
1:a6-- the short step that went for Miles
Tony Miles !! A Legend of British Chess !!
"Hello everyone!" For the love of god never change your opening :)
Wtf... how the hell ppl can dislike such a brilliant game presented beautifully with lots of instructions by this wonderful guy...
Agad, at 11:58 when you said you think any of us “wouldn’t lose” against Anatoly Karpov with that position, I wouldn’t speak for others but I know that as for me, I would not believe that I could beat Anatoly Karpov! However I appreciate your great confidence in your viewers! If only my chess skill were worthy of that confidence. For now I’ll keep studying so that maybe one day I earn your belief in us!
I would lose that against a 1300 rated player on chess.com
Wholesome
Plenty of great ideas shared here. Thanks for a great channel. It has grown on me as entertainment. I like the potency of all the suggestions. Very thorough yet concise. No wasted time. Thumbs up
It's 1am in India, I was about to sleep, but your notification brought me here. Congratulations on 100k subs. Huge admirer of your videos. Keep up the good work.
srinath reddy same here bro
1AM rookie numbers.
What a title! It has to be one of my favourites.
What a fantastic game, just incredible from Miles. Might even try a6 myself.
Thanks but I don't think I could beat Karpov even with all my pawns as queens lol
then you must be BraiNDEAD 😁
you could threaten checkmate on every move, how can you lose
Hey guys. Can't you recognize a joke? The "lol" is normally an indication.
Robinsinpost lol
Even without the "lol" its actually so obviously a joke that if anyone is braindead its the people who are saying Martín Prieto is.
Watching your vids turns me into a beast with 1000 eyes and several thousand ears...
Why did miles said monster with 27 eyes? Because queen can control 27 squares if she is in center?
i guess its from this famous game of K.- v.s Topalov?, the so called "perl of ..." when he managed to see a combination of 27 moves (after an exchange sacrifice) that ended in a winning position
27 is the best number.
@@hendrikmuller-gerbes145 it was actually from a match he played against Kasparov where he lost 0.5-5.5, he later quoted I though I was playing the WC not a Monster with 1000 eyes
I have paused the video, to say that I could definitely play that position against Karpov and lose, thank you so very much. ;)
11:57 Am I a joke to you? I'd lose that position to almost any 1200+ player
3 39 am here in china... still had to stop by this great video
@Donald Trump Cause it comes from ChaNay
Last night I was up til 4 haha sometimes you gotta catch that new vid
@@douggieharrison6913 I was uo till 2PM last night (yes PM).
We ride at dawn bitches.
This last remark (take-away message), about providing an argument to justify playing moves like "1. ..a6", is the simply amazing. Thanks man and congrats for reaching 100K subscribers!!!! Keep it up bro!
the verb 'to troll' hadn't been invented when this game was played....but it was the ultimate trolling of the world champion...pie in the face...well played mr. miles :)
12:57 "It's like a... like a very dominant positoin for black" The analysis we come to this cannel for
tactics is knowing what to do when there is something to do
strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do
and laziness is dreaming about the strategies and tactics.
Tactics is what my opponent uses to win material
Strategy is what I have to abandon the moment I lose a piece in the opening
I actually rewatched this game, and came to the same conclusion as Anthony Miles. The St. George defense is like a super accelerated Owen defense, and very sharp. Most players don't play it, and it can really shock white, because it is a very "Dubious until you equalize" type of opening.
Great win by Tony !!! Fantastic game! Great recommendation!
Perfectly sums up Karpov's achilles heel - his caution - he could have been a pawn up early on and chose Nd2. Then turns down the bishop sacrifice. It's why Kasparov always had his number.
The record of the two K's is very close to equal.
10:44 The Queen is X-raying the rook. I like the analogy.
"You immediately win that argument" :) :) :)
great game ... thanks for posting and analyzing. Interesting note, after this game Karpov played Miles another 12 times (over 12 years) with the White pieces .. record for Karpov 8 Wins, 1 Loss and 3 draws. Some of them are quite edifying ... Karpov's subtle positional play was too much for the calculating Miles.
11:30 queen to A1 would've been a great move forcing rook to B3 and then light square bishop to E4 forcing mate in 2. : )
Bs Qb1 defends it
The title had me LOL
You are awesome sir thanks for the content.
Wow! I couldn't believe Karpov lost until the very end!!
Ha ha! Great moral. Thanks.
loved the quote
Would be awesome to see some more weird openings like that, i loved it !
Magnus vs Nakamura 12.5 - 8.5 Magnus is the world champ in Fischer chess. With the same score as Fischer beat Spassky in 1972.
Do you predict Magnus's madness?
Who knows, he might go crazy in the future :D
No it was 14-10 Final score.
Didn't Fischer beat Spassky 12.5-7.5?
As a Saint George player, I stan Tony Miles
I did find chess a bit boring a first glance I wanted to learn more then I find your channel and it changed everything now it's 1 am in India and up to watch ur video thank you AGAD and I did teach my younger brother and elder brother chess for the first time but couldn't send u the video on the. Link some problem I guess #tal #sorry late comment #exams #ur-d-best bro and my fav CZcamsr
Oh agadmator! my agadmator! making a video title that reads "oh karpov! my karpov!"
:D
"I think any one of you could play this against karpov and you would not lose"
I would have to have 3 passed pawns, a queen and a bishop and maybe a rook against a sole king against karpov to not lose.
michael oh well if you really play carefully and as smartly as you can, with queen odds you can pretty much defeat the most perfect AI or even god. Queen odds are just winning even for relatively weak players.
one viewer
I challenge you to play stockfish with queen odds
Infinity Salinity i played against level 8 stockfish without any odds and i got into 2 rook endgame and stockfish was pawn up and i played that game very quickly and lightly without too much calculation. Imagine if i had queen odds from the beginning and calculated a lot. Stockfish would have been DOOMED!
I'd be able to stalemate karpov with those odds too
one viewer
Sounds like Stockfish got an early lead and simplified the game. But do try the handicap and post the pgn. I'm not betting against you or anything, just want to see how other people do it.
13:15 he said check when no check was made :D
What's your definition of check?
At 13:22 there's a magical check with rook h2, are you possessed by the Spirit of the magician from Riga ? :D
As of 10:54pm Eastern US time on February 13th, you have 101,995 subs. Which means we're going to see 102K tomorrow morning. AWESOME. You didn't reach 100K, you blew right past 100K. Keep growing strong, Agadmator!!!
:,) well over a million now
I know this is old but I watched this on TV as said before but I wish that they would put competitions back on our screens in the UK
The way you say "World Champion" Anatoly Karpov in his lost games is really funny. xD
11:56 you sir HAVE UNDER ESTIMATED MY POWER !!!!
Agadmator ur my CZcamsr for chess best chess channel on CZcams and I'm happy u hit 101k subscribers recently keep up the good work and please make a video regarding ur favorite gambits ,openings or tal, Fisher games
love that quote" tartacover vous parle" was my first chess book i got ) an amazing book
this is the one i always used to play...interesting to see it in a master game
Wonderful, Miles went Miles ahead...
Congrats on the 100k subs agad! 😃😃
The great Tony Miles won the Capablanca Memorial ¡four times! (1994-95-96 and 99) and in his last years he was the king of Open Tournaments.
1980 I remember this game like it was yesterday. Tony was England's Number one and I used to watch him play in the 80's when we played at the same tournaments.
I believe he really understood psychology in chess and used it many times to great effect. Sadly from a chess fans perspective he was taken to young.
Think I read recently that Nigel Short said that Tony was insanely jealous and took it badly when he took the British number spot from him which he believed contributed to Tony's mental breakdown. Any truth in that would you say whitenightf3??!!
@@harrycallahan3391 That sounds a bit crazy to me. Maybe Short was making a tasteless joke, (if he did say that).
@@dannygjk - That's what I thought myself. But I wouldn't have thought Short would have been the kind of person to do that. I don't know him personally of course.. 🤔
@@harrycallahan3391 Chess players are competitive of course and don't like being usurped in anything. I don't know that Tony had a mental breakdown as such. He died from complications relating to diabetes which he believed he could control through diet alone. I went to his funeral.
@@davidcopson5800 - Think I read somewhere that Tony had had a breakdown. Could have been misreported I guess..
Any of you can play this position against Karpov and not lose - that made my day
Such a beauty!
Interesting game!
3:28 Karpov intimidated? Whoa. Dude.
My god the title of this video 🤣
“And you immediately win that argument” 😂
01:45- thats where game starts
I'm surprised that there isn't an opening Karpov knows rote that has the same position at *some* point, so with just an inversion of moves, for example variations on the Ruy Lopez.
very tricky spot. Wish I could ponder a position for 30 mins.... GMs for a reason. thx for the video
Watching Giant Chess at the Mall and I laughed so hard about knowing the name of the opening the kid played there!!!
that is the best chess quote ive ever read
Fantastiskt parti
12:00 I think he could still trick me and have some drawing chances. After all he is Karpov
Ok Im not that good at chess but I love watching other chess matches between some of the best and you're explanation with every match is extraordinary
Look up Mind F**k in the dictionary and there's a picture of GM Tony Miles :D
Great narration. You make it sound like a war story, giving all nuances and strategies and the flow of the war. If you ever think about becoming a chess teacher I think you'll be awesome.
Tony Miles was the first English GM to earn the title over the board. He was known as an eccentric, exciting player and personality. He developed diabetes and had a serious back problem, once playing face down from a massage table. Tony died young, 46, his diabetes may have contributed, as may the medication he took after he had a nervous breakdown some years earlier.
he take half an hour to consider and then blunder... what a GM !
you should do a series about openings! (history, famous uses etc) #suggestion
My entire repertoire is based on Miles play in this game, bolstered by Mike Basman's books and of course engine analysis.
Love your videos! Could you please make a video about some games from the Ficher Chess WC?
Miles: the open book...has left the building.
Fun game to see thanks.
a Milestone in Karpov Crushing
I was there and saw the game live ! Miles drinking a lot of milk!!
this is my favorite chessgame and the reason why i ussually play a6 against e4
"and it's at this move that we have a completely new game."
A6 is not a bad move at all, you play it later in the Sicilian Najdorf.
fantastic game awesome video
It must be detrimental to Karpov's pride to lose to 1...a6
#suggestion Morphy vs Anderesson. A game in which Morphy wins in 17 moves. Anderesson opens with 1 a3 in a later game to win in 77 moves.
13:21 Can someone tell me how this is a check?
It's checking the pawn
Even the great one's have bad days.
Brilliant
Congrats on 100k subs mate! wrong video i know but oh well. Btw when do you play with subscribers on lichess?
you see guys! You can beat karpov if only you go the extra mile :D
don't understand whats the purpose of disliking such videos lol
Taking Karpov out of Book reminds me of Fischer's dislike of theory.
What a pity he didn't defend his title, against Karpov in 197-.
old agad vids>>>>>>>>>>>
Hey. Is the Qoute on the top of the video is said by Grandmaster below? :)
What a brilliant game.
