 | | Meanwhile, he had also won the prestigious Linares tournament in 1981 (and again in 1994), the Tilburg tournament in 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, and 1983, and the Soviet Championship in 1976 and 1983 (and again in 1988). | | | This game, Anatoly Karpov v Veselin Topalov, Linares 1994, given in algebraic notation, played during one of his best tournaments, features Karpov offering a rook for capture three times, and eventually sacrificing two rooks for a scintillating victory. | | | Karpov resigned his title in anger at the new rules in 1999, so the winner of the 1999 tournament (Alexander Khalifman) became FIDE World Champion. |

| | Talk:Anatoly Karpov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Karpov is sitll playing, so his record is always subject to change. | | | In fact it smelled so bad, Kasparov said "I would never touch the hair of that man. It reminds me of something my cat threw up." Thats why is Kasparov played so many quick draws in their 1984 match: he couldn't stand Karpov's hair. | | | Does this record just include top-level games at normal time controls (as I think it ought to) or does it also include blitz games, off-hand games, simuls and so on? |

| | Karpov was embarrassed that he had acquired the title in this manner and subsequently played in many strong tournaments to prove that he deserved to be World Champion. | | | He describes his game philosophy as follows: "Let us say the game may be continued in two ways: one of them is a beautiful tactical blow that gives rise to variations that don't yield to precise calculation; the other is clear positional pressure that leads to an endgame with microscopic chances of victory.... | | | He once said, "To be champion requires more than simply being a strong player; one has to be a strong human being as well." He retained his title until losing to Garry Kasparov in a controversial match in 1985. |

| | Rest assured, Anatoly Karpov was fit for the prey |
| | Against Karpov he had broken down in the World Championship Candidates match six years ago by missing chances and was perhaps happy at the possibility of what might have been because he was a rank outsider then. | | | The surprise of all surprises was Anand's Queen-pawn move and his selection of a rare opening in Game Six which must have rattled Karpov, who as usual, played like a saint for some 20 moves and then courted disaster in the face of an irresistible attack. | | | In another three days, he was thrown to the wolf sitting in his den and hungry for his prey, with all the rest that he required for yet another world title match. |
