| positionalgenius: <Albertan>look at this one too. |

| Holmstrom: Material equality during the whole game and Karpov wins with positioning and planning rather than a daring attack with a finishing combination. |

| Albertan: <positionalgenius: <Albertan>look at this one too.> Hi positionalgenius. I just looked at the game.Very interesting.It appears Karpov missed a winning continuation in this game on move 56 when he could have played 56.Rf4 as this variation shows: 56.Rf4 d3 (56... Qf8
57. Re4+ Kf7 58. Be6+ Rxe6 59. Qxf8+ Kxf8 60. Rxe6 d3 61. Kf1 h5 62. Ra6 Ke7
63. Rxa5 g6  ) 57. Re4+ Kf6 58. Qb8 Be5 59. f4 d2 60. g4 Bxf4! 61. Rxf4
d1=Q)
Also on move 50.Karpov missed a chance when he failed to play 50.Bh7! 60.Bh7! Re6 61. Qf5+ Rf6 62. Qe5 (threatening 63.Qe8# which forces Kasparov to give up his queen)62...Qxe4 63.Bxe4 d3 64.Qc7+ Ke8 65.Bxd3 wins. |

| aazqua: "A game by the best teacher ever and the best student ever Wow " I couldn't have said it better. The match between the two was the greatest moment of chess history. Absolutely phenomenal. |

| Fisheremon: 38...Qd2?! relying on the opposite colors of Bishops, perhaps it was the very reason of a slipshod play later?! 39...Rd8?! (Bf6!? =), still the position was defendable. After 48.g3?! the game was equalized again.
53...Rd6?! (53...Bf6!? =)
55...d4? losing move (55...Bd4!? still playable) and Black should resign after 56 move (the second zeinot according to the rules at that time). |

| tonsillolith: Karpov gave me a lesson in flexible thinking with this game. He shows Black's kingside weakness at g6 can be used for more than stationing pieces for a kingside attack. He maneuvers his bishop from the kingside to the queenside by Bh5-g6-d3 using this weakness. This game is excellent. After watching the game several times, I think I understand most of the last part of Karpov's attack, but I would never be able to produce something like that. |

| BraveUlysses: It is not at all obvious to me why Kasparov resigned: 63...Re7 or Qd8 seem to hold, there seem to be a lot of possibilities in this continuation. <Lawrence: <Beauty>, 63...Re7 is checkmate in 8. Junior 8 establishes in a flash that every move except one leads to checkmate in 8 or less. The move 63...Qd8 just takes a little longer, that's all. In 45 sec. it has an eval of +22.87. In less (some would say "fewer") than 4 min. the engine finds it's mate in 9, and then it finds that it's mate in 8. Garry probably saw all this though we can't.> Some of the analysis offered here helps a little but really I am left reminded that these guys are in another world if they can see mate in 8 or 9 over the board. Either that or Kasparov ran out of time :) |

| ray564k: 63...Re7 I think I can disprove-
One continuation could be 64. Qf4+ Ke8 (If 64... Rf7 65. Qa8+)
65. Bg6+ kd8 (only legal move). Then 66. Qf8+ wins a piece. |

| TITIKIZA: After 63...Re7 64.Qf4+ Ke8 65.Bg6+ Kd8 66.Qb8+ Qc8 67.QxQ+ KxQ 68.RxR or 63...Re7 64.Qf4+ Rf7? 65.Qb8+ |

| PugnaciousPawn: Thank you, TITIKIZA! I was waiting for the "for if" analysis of the ending. It's important to illustrate what the final concluding moves or variations will be in a final position such as this one. Saidy was always cognizant of providing the concluding "for if" analyses in his books. |

| WhiteRook48: nice pun |

| WhiteRook48: the funniest Karpov game ever in which he wins |

| swarmoflocusts: "It is not at all obvious to me why Kasparov resigned: 63...Re7 or Qd8 seem to hold, there seem to be a lot of possibilities in this continuation." There is forced mate in less than 10 in all variations from the ending position. |

| VaselineTopLove: This game is an example of a positional maneuvering masterpiece. |

| VaselineTopLove: I think this should be counted as Karpov's immortal instead of his game against Topalov, which is also a very good win. |
|

| scarredwolf11648: Totally a win for Karpov. |
|

| WhiteRook48: I see now, 64 Qb8+ |

|
| mendellevin: Agree with vaselinetoplove; this is a masterpiece of the highest rank. The fact that black is weak on the white squares means that threats can be mounted that leaves room for the rook to enter the fight. So logical. |
|
| Oct-01-09 |
| Funicular: I didnīt see the forced checkmates, but you can easily tell black is totally zugzwang'd after Qe5. You just canīt prevent Qc5+ without being mated. And Qc5+ means just that |

| Jonathan Sarfati: This brilliant maneuvering win has been the model for other games with OCB and weak squares. |
