Svitlana’s Smart Moves – The octopus knight of Kasparov

In this episode of Svitlana’s Smart Moves, Svitlana and Arne analyse a historic World Championship game from the 1985 match between Karpov and Kasparov. The focus is on Kasparov’s bold pawn sacrifice, 9…d5, in the Sicilian, which showcases deep home preparation and leads to him getting a powerful „octopus knight“ on d3. The analysis reveals how Kasparov’s strategic mastery and piece coordination slowly restricted Karpov’s position until it collapsed under pressure. The episode highlights how classical games still offer valuable lessons, especially in regard to positional dominance and long-term planning.
