| offramp: Is this Karpov's only French as black? |

| ughaibu: Maybe it was his "first". |

| offramp: The French doesn't really suit him.
Seven years later he pwned up the Bajew Geller with his own queen offer, Karpov vs Geller, 1983. |

| Granite: "first" posts are well known to increase the size of small genitals in 12-16 year old males. So please, a little less hate for those with small members. |

| dac1990: My protest is that we, the users of cg.com are unable to download a ZIP file of the Game of the Day Archive. I wish this were possible, but it isn't, and I had to keep updating my collection daily in order to provide this. So I decided to stop. |

Honoring this Memorial day! |

| patzer2: Karpov's 14. c4! is a surprise pawn sacrifice, which leaves Black's position in shambles. For example if 14...dxc4, then White could gain a decisive advantage after 15. bxc4 bxc4 16. Re1 Ne7 17. Qc2 h4 18. d5 exd5 19. e6 fxe6 20. Ne5 Qd6 21. Neg6 Nbc6 22. Rxe6 Qd7 23. Nxh8  . |

| aw1988: The game of course would be more special had Karpov played "his" systems. The French is a new idea. |

| notyetagm: 14 c4! and then Geller gives the fantastic line 14 ... bxc4 15 bxc4 dxc4 16 d5 exd5 17 e6 with a tremendous piece attack against the Black king. |

| notyetagm: I left Nimzo 8 in Infinite Analysis mode for over 7 1/2 hours on the position in this game resulting from the variation given above. The result was rather surprising to me: <despite being up by three center pawns, Black is competely and utterly lost>. Geller - Karpov
rn2k1nr/2pq2p1/4p3/p2pN2p/2p2N2/b7/P2B1PPP/1R1Q1RK1 b kq - 0 1 Analysis by Nimzo 8:

| notyetagm: 25 xe6!! is an amazing way to beat a player of Karpov's class. |

| notyetagm: <setebos: My ancient TASC R30 finds Qxe6 instantly.> Ok, you win, your TASC R30 is stronger than Geller.

| notyetagm: <setebos> FYI Geller had planned 25 xe6!! several moves earlier and spent his time calculating to make sure that he could win the resulting endgame. |

| OJC: "Grandmaster Efim Geller helped me to prepare for my final Candidates' match. Naturally, he was well versed in my openings repertoire, and therefore in our game I decided to play the French defense for the first time in my career. Well, you know, you've got to lose a lot of "Frenchies" before you can win in this complicated opening!" -Karpov |
|
| Oct-24-06 |
| OJC: Regarding the alternate score of this game, Karpov himself gives move 26 as Nfg6+, not Nhg6+. |

| Woody Wood Pusher: This game proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the French is busted. |

| Marmot PFL: Black has to attack the white pawn chain with c5 and possibly f6. Omitting these moves its no surprise that black gets squashed. |
