Have you ever had any issues with the KGB? Maybe particularly around the time you played Karpov?

  1. Could you have beaten Bobby Fischer if both of you were in your prime at the time of the match?

  2. Do you think the world chess championship format should be changed so that it’s more about playing for the win rather than playing for the draw?

Thanks, you absolute legend <3

Thank you for answering! Firstly, sorry about the often repeated You vs Fischer question. Secondly, I feel like it would make more sense to simply change the format to whoever is the first to win 7 games, or something like that where draws don’t mean anything. That way it’ll always be an exciting match that encourages risks and even more creativity.

That’s actually not a bongcloud. It’s called King David’s Opening in that particular position. I have no idea why though lol
