Karpov prepares for Fischer

The 12th World Chess Champion Anatoly Karpov today turned 63. Although he still makes rare appearances at the chessboard his 10-year reign as undisputed champion began almost 40 years ago in 1975, when Bobby Fischer forfeited the title. A Russian documentary team followed Karpov back then as he prepared for a match against Fischer, and we bring you a full transcript of the 20-minute film. Don't miss fascinating footage of Tigran Petrosian playing blitz, Karpov's first press conference as champion and much more.
