Oct-18-08		vikinx: No kibitzing. Little surprised.

Jun-29-09		Knight13: I would go on with 44. Kf5 here. Pawns on both side. White's bishop is better. White's position is better. Worth trying.

Aug-17-10		GrahamClayton: Kasparov's comments in "Ultimate Challenge": "..in game ten Karpov's imprecise play in a slightly worse endgame have me a good chance of victory. However, after gliding through the fortieth move, the time control move, I immediately made an error which enabled Black to mount a defence. Although I had no clear way to win, declining to resume the game after the adjournment was an unforgivable psychological concession on my part. In the first place, he would still have had to display a certain precision, and secondly, after that heavy defence, Karpov would have had great difficulty in switching to active play."

Sep-05-11		DrMAL: Kasparov regretfully admitted failing to follow Botvinnik's advice upon adjournment (again, he do so a few times in his prior matches with Karpov, always messing up): SEAL THE MOVE! 41.Ke4?! went from advantage to disadvantage for him.
