	Anatoly Karpov

		Karpov was on record saying that he believed Spassky would easily beat him and win the Candidates cycle to face Fischer, and that he (Karpov) would win the following Candidates cycle in 1977.However, instead of a bland one-sided rout everyone expected, the Spassky-Karpov match was spectacular.

		Karpov, the Russian who gained the title of world chess champion after American Bobby Fisher relinquished it in 1975, then 10 years later lost the crown to his fellow countryman Gary Kasparov, proves that chess is not a game.
		It is war, with psychological strategy as important as the moves made on the board: Karpov maintains that an expert does not play against the pieces, but against his opponent, and is guided by principles intrinsic to the game, "the internal laws by which the game lives." He studied with former champion Mikhail Botvinnick.
		Furiously competitive, Karpov regrets most that he never played Fisher, whom he admires, and is not at all gracious about his toughest opponents, Victor Korchnoi and Kasparov, claiming that the latter did not win, but that he himself lost.

	Rest assured, Anatoly Karpov was fit for the prey (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Anatoly Karpov, the man who ruled the world without any challenge for ten years and then for four years in a divided world, had come through fire when he met the Indian for the first time in a World Championship contest in Brussels and stated at the end of it.
		Today, Anand, with a plus score in regular games against Karpov, should have been in a position to return the compliment by saying that he faced a completely new Karpov, who was willing to attack in much the same way the Indian would have done when he was raw.
		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.
