| Aug-27-04 | | patzer2: Oops! Thanks for the correction <Zenchess>. I did indeed mean "Black has a clear and easy win" with best play (see line above) after <Benzol>'s 42...Bb5!  . |

 | | offramp: If you haven't played through this game, look at the final position and try to guess what the pawn on d2's starting square was. |
|
| Dec-10-06 | | gauer: Is this the same Karpov who was looking for a match with Fischer around this time? I sure hope he expected his skills to improve. At least Kramnik's not the only one who's capable of blunders. |
|
| Dec-10-06 | | euripides: When Karpov blundered, White's queen had shuffled from d6 to c5 and back again. Perhaps he assumed that this manoeuvre wouldn't have created a new threat. Of course Black's Bc6 has in the meantime made his position looser. |

| | offramp: Great kudos to Karner, who threw every obstacle in Karpov's path and played on even when he had just a Q+R left. Karpov was tough to beat even in the early 70s, and, as the first poster points out, Karner could've won this game much earlier. |
|
| Jan-06-07 | | jon01: Karpov underrated Kärner. He didn't believe that Estonian player can defeat him. That's why he wasn't taking this very seriously. When he became older and more experienced, he didn't do that kind of mistakes anymore. |
|
| May-02-10 | | outsider: so, the pawn on d2 is from b7; the one on d4 is from c7, and the one on d5 is from e7; the d7 pawn is watching from above |

| Nov-22-19 | | areknames: Ouch, what a performance by HK! |
|
| Oct-08-20 | | Granny O Doul: Kevin O'Connell's collection of Karpov's games annotated 42...d2 with a poem, uncredited as far as I recall, titled "The Catastrophe". It went something like this: In a tournament or friendly game

𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳?I tried it, and it generates a bunch of html-escaped things like '&#...123...' that get converted to the special characters. |

| Mar-31-21 | | Honey Blend: Although not losing on the spot, 34. ... ♖xb6 35. axb6 gave Karpov another pawn to potentially worry about later on. Safer choice is 34. ... ♘b4, attacking the ♗ and adding a defender to a6 at the same time. |
|
| Mar-31-21 | | Brenin: An interesting line after <Benzol>'s recommended 42 ... Bb5 is 43 Ra7 d2 44 Rxb7 d1=Q+ 45 Kf2 Qe2+ 46 Kg3 Qe3+ 47 Kh4 g5+ 48 Kh5 Be2+ 49 Kg6, and only now, with b5 clear for his K's escape, can Black play 49 ... Kxb7 50 Qc7+ Ka6 51 Qa7+ Kb5, and White is running out of checks. |

 | | HeMateMe: Good pun. Karpov games always work well, a special player. Impressive how karner tied him up in knotts. |

| Feb-18-22 | | Saniyat24: Hillar-ious...! |
|
| Apr-24-24 | | tympsa: didnt they have adjournments in 1970ies after 40th move ? Kärner was sharp attacking player, of course he wanted to end his attack right here and right now. But if Karpov put his very obvious 41...Bc6 into envelop, both would have been realized in home analyzis that white position was completely lost, white is running out of attack and material . Any way this was one and only game where Estonian chess player, even not GM, but only 2410 rated IM beat Anatoly Karpov in tournament game. Karpov was world no.8 in July 1972 FIDE ratings list 2630 ; Kärner 2410 in 1972 . His peak was 2425 in 1979 , but he never broke into world top 200, his playing style was too sharp and risky even for 1970ies-1980ies. Next year Karpov won Leningrad interzonal 1973( shared the win with Korchnoi ) , and in 1974 he won Candidates knock out matches vs Polugaeyvski, Spassky and Korchnoi. And then Fischer refused to play World Championsip match on FIDE terms ... |

 | | perfidious: <tympsa: didnt they have adjournments in 1970ies after 40th move ?> The criterion was for games to be adjourned after five hours' play; see the annotations to Karpov vs Keene, 1977 for a game which was adjourned well after move forty. |
