 |
| Jan-13-06 | | shor: why must g4 be protected?
if karpov will capture on g4,
korchnoi will just check with the queen. |
|
| Jan-18-06 | | Pawn Ambush: Your right maybe I think it makes sense for black to try and advance his e-pawn so I think 71...was made to unpin the e-pawn Imagine this position after an exchange of queens: blacks pawn on e3 and his rook on f2 to win black must make use of that back rank mate threat! |
|
| Mar-23-06 | | Daodejing: Very nice win by Korchnoi over his lifetime rival.
Happy 75th birthday Viktor. |
|
| May-01-06 | | goldenbear: This is fantastic play by Korchnoi. I am amazed. |
|
| Jul-17-06 | | Inf: umm a very rare game involving 2 queens for a lil bit of time play... any more games like this one?? |

 | | WannaBe: <Inf> Only 3 queens on the board?! That's nothing, check this out: Game Collection: Multi-queens! |

 | | Ulhumbrus: Korchnoi improves upon the game which he lost against Karpov in 1984 at the London Philips & Drew tournament. This game seems worth comparing with that one to see the results of the changes in Korchnoi's play over that game. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: Earlier in this thread (on the first page and perhaps elsewhere) there was some discussion whether 61. f8=N+ would have been better than Karpov's 61. f8=Q. According to the following analysis presented in Zenon Franco’s recent book, Winning Chess Explained, the under-promotion should have been sufficient to draw: 61.f8=N+ Kg8 [or 61...Kh6 62.gxf4 Qf7 (if 62...Qc8 63.Qc5 Qxc5 (not 63...Rxe3?? 64.Qd6+ Kg7 65.Qe7+ Kg8 66.Ne6  ) 64.Nxg4+ Kh5 65.Nf6+ Kh6 66.Ng4+ with a draw) 63.Qb8 Rxe3 (or 63...Kg7 64.Qe5+ Kxf8 65.Nf5=) 64.Qd6+ Kg7 (not 64...Kh5?? 65.Qe5+ Kh6 66.Qg5#) 65.Ne6+ Kg6 66.Nf8+ Kg7=] 62.Nxe6 Bxe3+ 63.Kh1 Rb1 64.Qb8+ Kf7 65.Qf8+ Kxe6 66.Qe8+ Kd6 67.Qe5+ Kc6 68.Qe6+ Kc7 69.Qe5+ with a draw by perpetual check. |
|
| Jun-26-07 | | Timex: A lovely game. This game shows that a bishop and a rook can still be formidable. |
|

 | | technical draw: Korchy was a pretty good player. He has to be the true living legend around now. |
|
| Jul-21-07 | | KholdStare: Wow, now this is chess. It's rare to see two queens on the board and the game continues. It's even rarer to see the player with two queens lose. |
|

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: <KholdStare> What's even rarer is to see a player with three queens losing: Belov vs Prohorov, 1991 :) |
|
| Oct-28-07 | | Whitehat1963: Probably the most difficult long game in the Guess-the-Move database. |
|
| Apr-26-08 | | Major Dude: Korchnoi, the strongest player never to become world champion. What a game, wow!!!! |
|
| Sep-16-08 | | PolishPentium: 61 f8=N+, forking King and Queen.
Worth it?
|
|
| Sep-16-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: OK so Karpov's 2 queens didn't help, but having beaten Korchnoi everytime it really mattered, he probably wasn't too upset. Great game though. |
|
| Sep-16-08 | | JuliusCaesar: Korchnoi annotated this game in-depth for New in Chess. Fascinating stuff, as I recall, not just the move-by-move analysis but also his interesting and entertaining reflections on the game and his formidable opponent. Korchnoi, who's often scathing about other player's abilities/prospects, has nothing but respect for Karpov the chessplayer. |
|
| Sep-17-08 | | ToTheDeath: The game is also annotated in Glenn Flear's Grandmaster Chess. <61 f8=N+, forking King and Queen.
Worth it?>
Yes that's a better chance, Flear thinks it should draw. The lines are ungodly complicated but here's a sample: 61. f8=N+ Kh6 62. gxf4 Qf7 63. Qb8 Kg7 64. a6 Ba8 65. Qxa8 Rxe3 66. a7 Ra3 67. Ne6+ Qxe6 68. Qb7+ =. |
|
| Jan-02-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow. extra queens don't really win |
|
| Feb-23-09 | | WhiteRook48: Korchnoi just tears Karpov's position apart. |
|
| Feb-25-09 | | M.D. Wilson: A revenge for Viktor! |
|
| Oct-17-09 | | sac2win: lols what a game. karpov is helpless even with 2 queens!!! korchnoi gets the better of mr.anatoli... |

 | | Albertan: In the "Just Checking" column in New In Chess Magazine #5/2004, GM Ivanchuk calls this game "the best game" he ever saw played. |
