Nov-15-05		Averageguy: Nice combo at the end.

Nov-15-05		PARACONT1: I followed the match then and I'm quite sure that combo never took place! Karpov resigned before the sealed move 41.

Nov-16-05		Poisonpawns: <Paracont1> You are correct Karpov resigned on move 41.Rd8 the combination never took place.21..Nd7? was big mistake ,Karpov was worried about Rxf6 which was possible a few moves before ,but here 21..Rae8 with adv to white is better than game continuation

Dec-03-05		rjsolcruz: In one of the 6-board simul vs NM Cabellon at Meralco Chess Club on Nov 30, 2005, NM Cabellon continued with the rare 3 e3, that per MCO14 was first played by Nimzovich vs Spielmann in 1928.

Sep-09-07		gambitfan: I am worried with 6... e4. What is better ? 7 g5 or 7 e1 ?

Jul-27-08		Cactus: 7.Ng5 is better, putting pressure on the e-pawn.

Jun-29-09		Knight13: <gambitfan> Funny you should ask. This game answered your question!!! 7. Ne1 is a bit passive, but you could play it if you want. Follow it up with Nc2 and d3. NOT suggested.
