I remember vividly how impressive was for me when I met Anatoly Karpov for the first time as a teenager. Since then we had countless encounters, training sessions and private talks. I wish Happy 70th Birthday to a truly amazing world champion who wrote history in many ways! ?? pic.twitter.com/Mu9bHqFF4g

Chess generations have grown up with Karpov, Kasparov and their duels on and off the boards. I always remember the battles between chess fans of my generation over who was better or weather strategic or tactical play was preferable. https://t.co/KZcNVG8kNm
