Jul-20-07		Karpova: 15.Nd2? b4! (16.cxb4 Qxc2 17.bxa5 Qc5) 26...Kg7! and white overlooks that this simple move avoids Nxf6+ and black wins the exchange. 42...Qc6, 43...Qc2 and 44...Qc4 are not just quite funny but also very strong. After the exchange of Queens white is still lost but his position is even more hopeless: 42...Qc6 43.Qxc6 Rxc6 44.Bxc6 Rxc6 and white's Rh6 is horribly misplaced (the DSB doesn't help much) while black is up two pawns (especially the pawn on a4 is mean) with more active pieces and the bishops are of the same colour!

Feb-03-10		Alphastar: <Karpova> There is nothing wrong with 15. Nd2. After 15. ..b4, white should however continue energetically with 16. Ne4!, for example: 16. ..Nxd5 17. Ng3 bxc3 18. bxc3! Nf6 (or 18. ..Nxc3 19. Bd2 Nb5 20. Rac1 when it is hard for black to parry all white's threats) 19. Bg5 with a strong initiative, analysis by GM Marin.

Feb-03-10		Boomie: Seems to me this is an example of what can happen to white when he fails to play a timely h3.
