Who do you understand, then? To me Kasparov's play is crystal-clear.
I've always wanted to play like Karpov, but his style is something I don't understand.
a function where you can guess the grandmasters move, i regularly was getting 60%

Perhaps it was due to Fischers rather narrow opening repertoire, but still. Karpov was
and remains the hardest to understand.

Hi friends. Just wondering if anyone knows what gary kasparov up to these days. Is he still active in his russian politics. And does he still play any competitive chess.

To promote boxing matches in the USA to bring in more money the boxers always seem to hate the other guy for some reason or another. It seems to make for a more interesting fight, like Mike Tyson biting a chunck out of Holyfield's ear.
If Boris Gelfand had bit off part of Vishy's ear during their world champ match he would be going too far obviously...
