A year ago I listened first time on a youtube channel Karpov commentating – and believe it or not – I got a “positional enlightenment”. Since then I grab everything I can get of him. There is no better way, then learning from the best. And these 4 DVDs are really priceless!

I really enjoyed these Karpov videos. They give great insight into how grandmasters think, and how great positional players like Karpov also have fantastic tactical vision. His sight of the board is amazing. His personality is also refreshing. He is well adjusted, friendly, modest, and an excellent teacher. These videos show the extreme level of positional understanding and tactical skill needed to reach the highest levels. Very enjoyable and instructive.
