| Apr 9, 2020 at 19:28 | comment | added | q.undertow | @user21820 : you cannot win "the same way as Stockfish". I won't even state the reason why, it is so obvious. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 17:33 | comment | added | user21820 | @Zuriel: That is my point. That is one good reason for him not to take risks unless he is losing. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 12:27 | comment | added | Zuriel | Surely winning is my goal and I would love to win like Karpov. I will never reach anything close to his level but l enjoy learning from his style and his games. I love the idea of winning with taking minimal risks possible. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 12:17 | comment | added | Zuriel | @user21820, as far as Karpov is concerned, in most of his career, he is almost always better than his opponent (unless his opponent is Garry Kasparov). So he wins majority of games without taking any risk. Correct? | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 8:26 | comment | added | Mike Jones | In the game, chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1066717, 11...Ke7 is the best move and is the least risky move. | |
| Apr 9, 2020 at 7:21 | comment | added | user21820 | Your claim that you cannot win without taking risk makes no sense. If you are better than your opponent, you can win majority of games without taking any risk, the same way that Stockfish 11 can win you without taking any risks. It is just a matter of relative accuracy. If you want to talk about trying to win by luck against a stronger opponent, that is a totally different matter unrelated to the current question about "solid positional play". | |
