| Honza Cervenka: 41...Bxb2+! would have been much quicklier and prettier finish of the game. If 42.Kxb2 Qf2+ 43.Kc3, then 43...Qd4 is a lovely mate. Of course, other retreats of the King lead to an immediate mate too and 43.Nd2 Qxd2+ is only a short postponement of unavoidable doom.:-) |

| zev22407: A great game by Torre taking the initiative with 16)..g5! |
|

| zev22407: If 49)Nb1 B:b2+ and wins as Honza Cervenka had Shawn. |

| Milo: Not quite, as the white queen covers d4, so 49.Nb1 Bxb2+ 50.Kxb2 Qf2+ 51.Kc3 Qd4 52.Qxd4. |

| Fusilli: <farrooj: what is the continuation now to Nb1?> As shown by <Milo>, 49. Nb1 Bxb2+ doesn't mate now. I think what follows is 49...Qc1 50. Qe2 Qc2 and it's over. I am sure White runs out of checks. Notice that if White didn't have the g-pawn, then 49. Nb1 Qc1? 50. Qxd4! and draw. |

| Travis Bickle: Fischer's pal Eugenio Torre in 1976 smashed king karpov at the height of his invincibility! Is this the guy Bobby was supposed to be scared of?! |

|
| Travis Bickle: Eugenio Torre his highest rating in the database of 2552, Fischers 2nd in the '92 rematch with Spassky destroys Karpov the guy Bobby was supposedly ducking hahahah!!! |

| Woody Wood Pusher: yea, like Fischer never lost a game in his whole life right? LOL |

| ToTheDeath: Of the more than 50 tournament games Karpov played in 1976 he lost two. You're right TB, he totally sucked! |

| Jim Bartle: Travis: So if I understand correctly, Torre is sort of like, say, the Dodgers, exposing their overhyped, invincible opponent? Their manager even has the same name. |

| Monoceros: Capablanca vs Spielmann, 1928 Spielmann crushes Capa as Black, Jose Raul drops a piece and quits before 40 moves are up, this is the guy that Alekhine was supposedly ducking hahahahaha!!!! |

| Travis Bickle: Thats what Capa gets for playing that Russkie d4! Remember Roberts mantra "e4 best by test"!!
Your pal Travis |

| bakit: Let's give Eugene Torre kudos for his aggressive play. Karpov made no blunders but he played conservatively. A follow up to Fusilli's accurate analysis, Black evades check on d6 and c5.
Oh...if White didn't have the g-pawn,
but a Rook instead... and if... :-) |

| fianchetto83: karpov actually made a blunder at 40. Qa8?? and also 45. Qe8? using Crafty to analyse the moves, 40. Qa8 actually scored -327.56 and yeah in 41. ... Qc4? Torre missed the mate in 5.
best is, 41. ... Bb2+ 42. Kxb2 Qf2+ 43. Nd2 Qxd2 44. Kb1 Qa2+ 45. Kc1 Qc2# |

| Shams: if white accepts the pawn with 18.Bxg5 how does black continue? |
|

| The Eagles: a fantastic game of E Torre,this is probably one of his best achievements in chess since becoming the first player to finish ahead of karpov in tournaments after karpov became the world champ |
