| RookFile: I don't ever remember Karpov getting crushed as badly as he did here. |

| nsppp: A stunning contest.For me it's always pleasure to watch Tal's games. |

| keypusher: <chancho> this is in the ballpark... Kasparov vs Karpov, 2001 |

| actionhero56: I thought karpov was an expert at the caro-kann. |

| goldenbear: I'm going to give Karpov the benefit of thinking that he must have had to play for a win in this game and that he had studied the position. Otherwise, Be6 is madness. In fact, I don't rate this game very highly as a result. |

 |
| FSR: I knew of one game (a Slav or Semi-Slav) where Karpov beat Tal, but didn't think Tal had ever returned the favor. I agree with everyone about 12...Be6? -- like sticking your head in an alligator's mouth. |

| Plato: After reading the comments on this thread... "<one of the BEST games in chess history>" and "<I thought karpov was an expert at the caro-kann>" and all that... it might be useful to point out that THIS WAS A BLITZ GAME. Please keep things in perspective! <cg.com> This game was played in the Brussels Blitz tournament of 1987. The <Event> and <Site> should be labeled as "Brussels 5'" just as they are for the following game (which was played at the same event): Karpov vs Tal, 1987 |

| sallom89: <duplex> hell yea he must have been drunk , but Tal is a great player too. |

| wvkevin: Perhaps Karpov had a penchant for placing a bishop directly in front of a pawn. He did the same thing against Larry Christansen who retreated his Queen the next move to it's orginal square forking the bishop and knight to immediately win a piece. Karpov resigned after that one move. |

| Ladolcevita: I think Tal understands chess deep into its core and nature,while others play chess more relying on the learnt acquisition. |

| brazil chess: Can anyone help me with this? On move 28.Bh7+ would've been a faster mate? 28... Kxg7 (forced) 29.Qg6+ Kh8 or Kf8 30.Qg8++ ... anyways, who am I kidding? I would probably not have the guts/vision to play 13.Rxe6 |

| chocobonbon: How about <24.Nf6?>, especially in a blitz game? |
|
Dec-25-08
|
| chocobonbon: After <24.Nf6> is it not Mate in 5? I've seen a move like that somewhere. Anybody know where? Either one of the combo books or one of Tal's games, I guess. |

|
| chocobonbon: I apologize for harping on this game but it is an extraordinary game. After checking the earlier posts I see that <Honza Cervenka> had suggested Nf6! on move 22!! I think that is a stupendous shot & as far as I can see, no one ever commented on it. Hats off to you, Honza (nearly 5 years late). Maybe YOU should play Fritz. |

| WhiteRook48: very careful about the move order |
|
| Aug-28-09 |
| WhiteRook48: the knight can't go to f6 on move 24 |

| hedgeh0g: I think Karpov was expecting Tal to sac the exchange, but thought he could handle the complications and eventually exploit a material advantage, given his previous record against Tal- |

| WhiteRook48: never mind, I was looking at move 11 or something |
|
| Nov-01-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 27...Kxg7 loses to a massive onslaught |

| WhiteRook48: 28 Qh7+ Kf6 29 Ne4+ Ke5 30 Qh5+ Kf4 31 Qh6+ Kf5 32 Ng3+ Kg4 33 f3+ Rxf3 34 Qh5+ Kf4 35 Qxf3+ Ke5 36 cxd4+ Kxd4 37 Qd3+ Kc5 38 Ne4+ Kc6 39 Qc4+ Kd7 40 Qd5+ Ke8 41 Ba4+ Nc6 42 Nc5 Rd8 43 Qg8# |
