Mar-11-04 | | Whitehat1963: Excellent and subtle. Was this GK's first victory over AK? |
|
Apr-26-04 | | artemis: This game is beautiful. I feel that it is one of the greatest positional masterpieces ever played. Kasparov's opening moves give Karpove two bad bishops, and now counter play. 9. Bg5 was truly inspired. Every counter move is bad. f6 yields a horrible bishop. Nf6 yields a pinned knight and over all decreased mobility. Be7 gets rid of a decent bishop, although I definetly consider this much more preferable |

Jul-29-04 | | Knight13: Good game. Very interesting. |
|
Sep-03-05 | | pencuse: This game is 32th game in 1984 World Chess Championship, Karpov vs Kasparov. With this game, Kasparov has defeated Karpov for the first time in his life. After this game, the score was 5-0 to 5-1, Karpov leaded. Until 48th game, if Karpov has defeated Kasparov, he could have been World Champion, but Kasparov has never given him this opportunity. |
|
Sep-04-05 | | Brown: ummm, what exactly does that mean <but Kasparov has never given him this opportunity>? I'll guess and say that Kasparov prevented Karpov from being world champ after the NEXT match, right, because Karpov walked away from this still the WC... |
|
Sep-04-05 | | iron maiden: This was the first time in about fifteen games that Kasparov was seriously playing for a win. You can tell his match "strategy" was paying off by how quickly Karpov was outplayed. |
|
Sep-04-05 | | PARACONT1: I think Karpov lost this game as he was still smarting over his missed win (which would have ended the match) in Game 31. besides, kaspy made several errors in this game (32) which would have allowed Karpov to escape, notably in the opening. |
|
Oct-07-05 | | Queens Gambit: What a nice uncommon game!! |
|
Oct-31-05 | | DeepBlade: They exchange so many pieces for microscopic positional advantage in the endgame. The Rooks made symmetrical trips, and then took eachother |
|
Apr-01-06 | | popski: Position from this game is now also in this nice artwork made by Riccardo Colvino: http://www.elysiun.com/forum/viewto... |
|
Nov-17-06 | | thegoodanarchist: I just love seeing Karpov lose, especially when it is Kasparov dishing out the defeat! |
|
Nov-17-06 | | NBZ: Be7 gives up more than just a decent bishop after Bxe7 Qxe7 Qxc7 or Bxe7 Kxe7 which looks quite horrendous. |
|
Dec-15-06 | | ToTheDeath: Great game. I like the non steretyped h4 advance in place of castling, The rook lift to e3, the simplification to a won ending, really nice first win for Kasparov! |
|
Mar-29-07 | | Fisheremon: A bit kidding game. 7...Nd7?! should be counted as an opening blunder, but White missed a very strong continuation 11.e3 (instead of 11.g3?!). In his turn Black missed 11...g5!? (instead of 11...g6?!) planning next h5 with equality. |
|
Jun-27-08 | | ToTheDeath: What a strange comment. 11...g5?! would weaken the kingside even more, and after 12.Be3 h5?? loses to 13.Nxg5! Karpov does not play such moves. |
|
Oct-08-08 | | slomarko: GK on this game: "In game thirty-two, Karpov resigned without resuming the game. Yes, it's a lost position, but you don't resign. You could play a queen ending and it could be forever. So he could have played it for six hours, because we saw that it would be queen and two pawns versus queen and pawn, you never know. It might be six hours, a very long adjournment." |
|
Feb-22-09 | | Count Isouard III: the black pawn wouldnt queen, only whites would. The white queen will check the king and can stop the blk pawn by pinning it against the black queen preventing its advance. |
|
Jul-02-09 | | Damianx: slomak it,s 2 qeens to 1 or 2 pawns to none |
|
Jun-18-10 | | bambino3: love how they both did rook lifts |
|
Nov-30-10 | | splatty: Crazy game. |
|
Aug-22-11 | | Ulhumbrus: Instead of 15...Bf6, 15...0-0 castles without further delay, and Black has a winning positional advantage. |
|
Sep-05-11 | | DrMAL: <Ulhumbrus: Instead of 15...Bf6, 15...0-0 castles without further delay, and Black has a winning positional advantage.> Well, NO actually white would still ahead then. <splatty: Crazy game.> Yes, Kasparov missed some great chances, but finally won (Karpov moved the wrong pawn...twice). |
|
Sep-05-11 | | DrMAL: <artemis: This game is beautiful. I feel that it is one of the greatest positional masterpieces ever played.> Well, Kasparov did not even think it was one of his best games of the match. To appreciate the creativity of this opening after 7...Nd7!? it really helps to get DVD #4 (of 5) "My Story" where Kasparov explains it with his usual tremendous lucidity. One thing he mentions in this video is that 21.dxc5! was criticized in favor of 21.hxg6 after this game. In fact, 21.dxc5! was actually decisive as shown even in very short computation: Houdini_15a_x64: 20/74 02:09 498,160,173
+1.49 21.dxc5 Nxc5 22.hxg6 d4 23.Bxb7
+0.38 21.Nf3 cxd4 22.Nxd4 Ne5 23.0-0
+0.37 21.hxg6 hxg6 22.Rxh8+ Bxh8 23.dxc5
Very young and nervous Garry got too excited and played 23.g7?! instead of 23.Bxb7! (or 23.Nf7) allowing Karpov to survive: Houdini_15a_x64: 20/77 02:51 765,510,571
+2.79 23.Bxb7 Qxb7 24.f3 hxg6 25.Rxh8+
+1.74 23.Nf7 Bxg2 24.Rh2 Rg8 25.gxh7
+0.40 23.Bd6 Bxg5 24.Qxd4 Bf6 25.Bxe7
+0.37 23.Kf1 hxg6 24.Rxh8+ Bxh8 25.b4
+0.32 23.g7 Qxg7 24.Nf3 Be4 25.Rh6
This was his biggest error in this game. The number of errors Kasparov committed in the first nine games of this match was maybe ten times higher (or more) than he normally did then, even in his candidates match with veteran Korchnoi the prior year (at age 21!). Even here, on game 32 his play was WAY below his personal standard for that time. I'm sure Karpov also felt very pressured, but his play did not show it comparably as much. |
|
Dec-27-12 | | Conrad93: Karpov should have won by round 32. This is absurd. Of course he would lose. He's exhausted. |
|
Dec-27-12 | | isit: How would you know he is exhausted? |
