| joelsontang: where did white make a mistake? |

| adviser: never see a piece as it is, see the potential of it. |

| Jokers: Karpov never moved his rook from h1, never moved his bishop from f1, and moved his queen knight from b1 to c3 and back to b1. |

| TigerPawns: at first i thought white just played badly bud with a little help from crafty i can now see that most of the strategically odd moves he made have unfortunate tactical reasons behind them... |

| FHBradley: Kurt Richter once wrote a wonderful fable about the intricacies of the promotion rule; I think it's in his "Schachdelikatessen", which I suppose also exists as an English translation. |

| newton296: taking the pawn on move 13 seems okay , I think Karpov loses the chance to hold his advantage with the lame 15) Nb1!? instead of Na4 with the idea of clogging the A file and aiming the knight for the sweet c5 outpost. |

| Waitaka: Another version of the promotion, from the book "How life imitate chess", from Kasparov (2007). The text is not literal, as I am tranlating from Portuguese to bad English: --- At move 24, I promoted a pawn, saying "Queen" and looked to the arbiter, for he hand me the Queen, that should already been on the table. But before I received an answer, Karpov made his move, an illegal move. He alleged that, since I did not put another Queen on the board, he could choose any piece, and did choose the bishop (...).This comic fact was soon resolved. I got my new Queen and Karpov resigned three moves later, although he demanded and received some more minutes on his clock, to compensate the alleged confusion.

| Madman99X: Kasparov seemed to have a knack for using tactics to force his opponent to make positionally bad moves. |

| sallom89: <Funicular> hahaha well said ! looks like random setup from Karpov's side. |

| HNP: <Notagm>If 18.Qxb4 Ne3 attacks the rook and threatens to fork king and queen. |

| Wengsta123: 25. ... Ndc5. The move seemed to make no sense whatsoever |

| Riverbeast: This is the second game they played where Kasparov made Karpov (with the white pieces) look like a patz, forcing all of his pieces to the first rank...There was a similar game from the 85 World Championship (I think it was when Kasparov sac'ed a pawn early in a sicilian with ...d5. Famous game) |

| TheaN: About the Fisherrandom part. Would Kasparov have allowed Karpov to put a Bishop on a1 after 22....c3? Asthetically nice, I guess. At least it turns to a TRUE fr setup for the back rank :). Or afterwards moving 23.Nxc3 bxc3 24.Nxa2 Kg7 (a slip from Kasparov) 25.0-0-0??!?!?!?! fr style. Now that would've flabbergasted Kasparov for sure. |

| desiobu: The position after 22. Nc1 is amusing |

| WhiteRook48: 28. Rg1 Bf5+ 29. Kb2 Nd1+ 30. Ka1 Nxb3# |

| WhiteRook48: it would be even more amusing if there was a white bishop on a1. |

| shakespeare: an excellent analysis of this game by GM Seirawan can be found in the chessmaster 9000 tutorials last point: effective play based on... |

| TheChessGuy: Karpov either loses a rook or gets checkmated. Absolutely phenomenal game between two of the greatest. |

| Fusilli: Que paliza! This must be the most lopsided of all K-K games. |

| KamikazeAttack: A tame and lame game by Karpov.
Amazing how chess has moved on since 1993. |

| Hesam7: According to engines Karpov's first mistake is 14.f4 after which he is worse, this also makes sense on general grounds when you are behind in development why are you picking up a fight in an open center? The second one is 18.h3. After this Karpov is lost but Kasparov does not play the winning move and gives away most of his advantage by playing 18...c5? Here is the winning line after 18.h3: 18...Qh4+ 19.g3 Rxe2! 20.Kxe2 (20.Bxe2 Qxg3+ 21.Kd2 [21.Kf1 Ne3+] 21...Qxf4+ 22.Kc2 Ne3+) 20...Qxg3 21.hxg4 Nc5! 
click for larger viewBecause of ...Bxg4+ and ...Ba6+ the c8-bishop is a real nightmare for White. The knight can not be taken: 22.Qxc5 Bxg4+ 23.Kd2 Rd8+ 24.Kc2 Bxd1+ 25.Kb2 Qxb3+; 22.f5 does not work either: 22...Ba6+ 23.Kd2 Nxb3+ 24.Kc2 Nxd4+ White's best line seems the following where he gives up two exchanges to get rid of Black's minor pieces: 22.Rd3 Ba6 23.Rh3 Qxg4+ 24.Ke1 Bxd3 25.Rxd3 Nxd3+ 26.Bxd3 Qxf4:
