| Apr-11-08 | | Knight13: <Korchnoi was always struggling after 18.Nf6+.> That's because 11. Bxe6! is the right move against 10...d4. This opening was repeated in the previous match but didn't play Bxe6. Or maybe not. 14...c5 I think saves Black from Nf6+. But too many tactical tricks on that d4 knight and c5 pawn! |
 |
| Nov-03-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Fantastic game with some classy moves! 27.Rf1! keeps everything under control. |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: Woldn't gxf6 be best after Nf6+?

 | | Eyal: <Wouldn't gxf6 be best after Nf6+?> Yeah, looks like it - 17...gxf6 18.exf6 Rd8(!) - to defend against rook lifts by White (18...Bd6? 19.Rd4!). |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: How can this be seen as good? It's real low ebb. |

| | Eyal: After Korchnoi's win in game 6 of the match, Karpov and his team turned to do some serious "repair work" in the Open Spanish, Karpov playing in the meanwhile 2 Giuoco Pianos in game 8&10 and English in game 12. Karpov's new idea was 12.cxd4 followed by 13.Ne4, and Korchnoi went wrong with 14...Nxf3+; the right move is 14...Nf5, played by Korchnoi in game 16 which ended in a draw. They repeated this line for the third time in game 18, where Karpov varied by 13.a4 and won again. |

| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: It could be said that when Ko. had real chances.. in first match he was btrayed by Keene when at 5-5 K went to telex his sealed move as he was writing a book coming out at same time...instead of analyzing. So the seconds of Karp were able to spend all night preparing a trap for the next day. Ko. then lost.
I think Fisch who was always supportive of dissidents from Russia must have been moved at the thought o another man threatening the Russian machn. Think Ka never critised regime at all until it collapsed.. and was even persuaded to play in a 'Fide match' when Kasp and Short left. How sad that we are shown games of Ko. that an amateur might have played. |

17. ... gxf6

|
| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: Woody Wood pusher.. where am I? |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | Everett: <<charlie2000:> How sad that we are shown games of Ko. that an amateur might have played.> <charlie2000: ... where am I?> It seems you are lost. |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: i happen to know what I'm saying. No doubt Woody's comment 'your part of the world 'is a racist jibe 'cos i put up a cartoon pic of Anand. Another great defeater of Russians..
Woody are you made of wood? |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | Everett: <charlie2000> <No doubt Woody's comment 'your part of the world 'is a racist jibe 'cos i put up a cartoon pic of Anand.> ?? |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | newzild: Charlie2000: Woody Wood Pusher didn't say anything even remotely racist. I think you've misuderstood him because English isn't your first language. This was a fine game by Karpov. It must be said that 17.Nf6+ shouldn't have been too hard for Korchnoi to spot. Maybe there was nothing better for black than to "castle into it", given that 0-0-0 will never be an option. |

| Nov-03-08 | | Ladolcevita: I can understand amauter's move0.0` |

| Nov-03-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: < charlie2000: i happen to know what I'm saying. No doubt Woody's comment 'your part of the world 'is a racist jibe 'cos i put up a cartoon pic of Anand.> This guy logs onto a chess website to call Korchnoi an 'amateur' and make baseless accusations about racism..? A true Renaissance man no doubt. |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | Ladolcevita: <WOODY WOOD PUSHER>Is your icon a portrait of Van Gogh?And Renaissance man??
But ithink WOODY WOODY PUSHER means no rasim at all,he is just using his brand-irony......0.0!! |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | AnalyzeThis: It's amazing that Korchnoi lasted as long as he did. It looked like he was getting killed from the get go. |

 | | kevin86: It looked like black's queen and rook were about to mate,when the black lady was called home to protect her king. |

 | | mjmorri: <Charlie2000> I have no doubt that if an amateur had the white pieces against Korchnoi after 19...Rd8, he would lose. It took exceptional technique from Karpov to bring home the full point against Korchnoi's stubborn resistance. |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | mworld: white 40.f5 would make a very insane puzzle! |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | charlie2000: mjmorri>
i can't think of anything more obvious than to advance the h-pawn |
|
| Nov-03-08 | | datachess4: 17...gxf6 18.Bh6 Ng5! whites attack goes nowhere |
|
Nov-04-08
| | Eyal: <datachess4: 17...gxf6 18.Bh6 Ng5! whites attack goes nowhere> White might actually still gain some advantage with 19.Qf5; better for Black is 18...Kh8 19.exf6 Bd6 20.Bxf8 Qxf8, or even simply 18...fxe5, where White has nothing better than forcing a perpetual with 19.Qg3+ Kh8 20.Qxe5+ etc. In case of 17...gxf6, the right move for White is 18.exf6, but even then - as I mentioned in a previous post - Black would be better off than in the game after 18...Rd8. |
|
| Jan-16-09 | | M.D. Wilson: <It took exceptional technique from Karpov to bring home the full point against Korchnoi's stubborn resistance.> That probably best sums it up. At the end, there was nothing Korchnoi could do. |
