| Aug-09-09 | | MarkThornton: In June 2008, I honoured this game in the dedication to this problem: click for larger viewThe problem is a Proof Game. The solver needs to find the unique sequence of moves that leads to the position shown, which arises after Black's 11th move. It was published in The Problemist, in September 2009.

 | | keypusher: <Kingdumb: This is a perfect example of how you can psych someone out of his game. By playing this opening against Karpov, Miles laughs in the man's face and does to him what you would only expect to happen to a 5 year old child who takes a tantrum because you called him a cootie. Karpov should have known better than to let this defense get to him and crush Miles like an egg as any GM worth his salt would have done playing against a defense of this nature. Just goes to show you how human even the best of us are.> Miles tried this approach several times with Karpov. Usually it didn't work. Karpov vs Miles, 1977
Karpov vs Miles, 1992
Karpov vs Miles, 1978 |

...and in this sense... have a nice day peeps. It's late here in europe! ;0) |

| May-19-12 | | Qb6: <SamAtoms1980> Indeed - I remembered seeing that comment somewhere and quoted it, but couldn't find it (it was on an entry talking about 4. xe5 in the Four Knights', not 1.e4 a6). |

 | | SetNoEscapeOn: One of very few moments of joy for Karpov's opponents during his 10 year "iron fist" reign of terror of the chess world. |
 |
| Sep-07-12 | | Travis Bickle: Typical Russkie, his opponent outplayed "The World Champion" by throwing opening preparation out the window and Karpov complains that he didn't play the correct opening. LOL! P.S. I guess nobody from The Kremlin told Karpov all's fair in love and war! ; P |
 |
| Sep-07-12 | | Travis Bickle: <SetNoEscapeOn: One of very few moments of joy for Karpov's opponents during his 10 year "iron fist" reign of terror of the chess world.> Here's another joyous moment in that iron fisted reign of terror. ; P P.S. I wonder if Fischer would have lost to Larry Christiansen so quickly? lol Christiansen vs Karpov, 1993 |

 | | keypusher: <P.S. I wonder if Fischer would have lost to Larry Christiansen so quickly? lol> Coward wouldn't have showed up. So, yeah. Zero moves. Quicker. |

LOL!> Typical jingo fanatic. If you scroll down the page, you will learn that Miles regularly "threw opening preparation out the window" with Black against Karpov, and regularly got crushed doing it. |

 | | perfidious: Karpov could have avoided the ignominy of posters ragging him to this day by playing on as Black did in this game (Nunn vs Kiril Georgiev, 1988) after move ten, though Nunn, in his best games collection, wryly noted-and I'm paraphrasing-'....If Black's motive in playing on was to make the game less publishable, it didn't work, as some magazines had Black resigning at move ten!'. |
 |
| Nov-29-12 | | jancotianno: I just faced this opening two days ago :P i didn't blow my opponent away but managed to win fairly comfortably. |
 |
| Jan-30-13 | | x1134x: @AW1988: If you played: 1. e4 a6 2. d4 b5 3. c4 Bb7 4. Nc3 d6 then you made the first mistake missing 4. .. b4! Black wins the e pawn! (If Nd5, e6 boots it and lets the bishop defend b4) and then the Bishop at b7 gets the white e pawn for free. Its a classic St George trap, comes up in many of its configurations. |
 |
| Mar-22-13 | | engmaged: a6 is pure psychological move. It is main purpose to distract the opponent's mind and makes him wonder "Is he taking me easy? How disrespectful of him! what if i lost with such an opening with white?
to me it is not pure fair play! |
