I would really like to see a translation. Could you manage one for
me?

Yes, if you're interested I'll find the article and translate it.

Of course it’s exaggerated but in Karpov’s comment I never see enthusiasm
for chess itself. It’s mainly about the psychology of the game, underestimating the opponent,
being underestimated, not getting enough respect, losing concentration, making stupid mistakes.
Several players have described how it is to analyze a game with Karpov: He does not try to find
the objective truth, he always tries to proof that in fact he was standing better.

And what do you think about these two facts of Soviet prearranged games in favour of Karpov? When it is true, could he win so many tournaments playing alone, like Fischer?
