| May-04-05 | | yoozum: Was this a rapid-play event? |
|
| May-07-05 | | Georgie Dubb: Each match consisted of two consecutive games with 25' per player per game (is this called rapid play ?) followed by blitzes in case of a tie. As a member of the audience and chess beginner I really appreciated very stimulating and instructive live comments by GM E.Relange and S. Laborde. The following site also gives a(correct?) version of the games http://www.lepalamede.com/ |

| May-07-05 | | hintza: Congratulations to Karpov, good follow up to his win over Istratescu. Does anyone know where Anatoly will be playing next? |
|
| May-09-05 | | acdc: Why does Karpov still play chess nowadays? He isn't playing as well as he did before; he already has a lot of money and; he has also done nearly everything one can do as a chess player, so why play at all at a much lower strength and ocassionally lose a game to nobodies like Hamdouchi?! |
|
| May-09-05 | | acdc: ...anybody else share the same sentiment? |
|
| May-09-05 | | percyblakeney: I think Karpov knows that his only chance to win anything these days is to play against vastly inferior players, here he was lucky to win the final against Hamdouchi in a 4/3 minutes sudden death game where Hamdouchi blundered in a winning position according to Le Palamede. |
|
| May-09-05 | | madlydeeply: Perhaps Karpov enjoys playing chess. It is the onliest thing he knows. |
|
| May-09-05 | | offramp: I think it is like an ambassadorial role. He is touring the world popularising chess. Hopefully he might come to London soon and I'll be abli to go and see him. |
|
| May-10-05 | | Phoenix JS: I agree with Offramp. I like the fact that he is still playing. I think you might be a little too focused on winning great prizes and money. The simple answer may well be that he loves the game. I think its a question about giving and sharing.... not taking :-) |
|
| May-13-05 | | dryden: You must be joking.
Karpov could very well win the World Championship if only such event was NEITHER the FIDE lottery NOR the Classical Chess sectarian black mass. |
|
| May-17-05 | | SimSim314: First of all, karpov not so weak he is place 32(!) in the world, for comparing spaasky playing against fisher in 92(?) was on place 106, and second of all - most of the people don't play chess for money or even to win - people enjoy interesting games when they lose as well. So actually I don't get the question, what are you playing chess for - you are not gona be world chempion ?! |

acdc: ...anybody else share the same sentiment?> Dude, Karpy was No. 1 or 2 in the world for over 20 years, and is still very strong. Kramnik and Anand couldn't carry his jockstrap. He played 8 matches for the world championship,at the more rigorous classical time controls, 3 with Korchnoi and 5 with Kasparov. In the matches with Kasparov, he is only -1 after some 185 games. Granted, he's a dull personality, and there are some questions about his ethics, but he's earned a right to play in any tournament. |
