| offramp: <Dr. Nunn devotes 53 pages to the ending of Q+N vs. Q in "Secrets of Pawnless Endings" and has uncovered many new winning lines. In fact there are 38 distinct zugzwang positions, many of them "astonishingly complex".> I think the astonishing thing is that these books ever got published. |

| sucaba: <Who> had already mentioned 83. _ d6.
From <Benzol> and <TheOddFella> we learn that the game ended in a blitz, so analysis of this part is actually pointless. However, the black position was won before 41. _ b5, for example with 41. _  d5. |

| Boomie: According to Nalimov, all the positions after 68. Nxb3 are draws. |

| pezzonovante: There's a big difference between Q+N against Q ending and R+N against R. R+N against R is an elementary draw, Knight offers no protection against Rook checks. Q+N against Q is a difficult and tricky ending with good winning chances. I play on that one if had a chance, no doubt. |

| Fast Gun: This was a game that was broadcast on BBC television, the tournament was specifically organised for the tv, with a strict time limit for all the moves, so in my opinion it should not be regarded a proper tournament game. There is no doubt that had this been a game with the normal time controls, Karpov would have actually won this game never mind hold on for the draw!!
He only lost because he was down to his last few seconds on his clock: |

| KingG: <Fast Gun> Well, had they had more time, i'm sure they would both have played differently. As Spassky's comments indicate, he was also affected by Karpov's time trouble. |

| whiteshark: I watched this game live in Hamburg.
It was a last round game and as far as I remember Spasski need a win to get a tie-break against Karpow (which he lost). Around moves 45-50 both players were in big time trouble (less than a few mins left) and they started their incredibly blitzing duell. The big screen didn't get it, so the spectators couldn't follow the final moves. When the play ended it was a surprise that Spasski won. All people around thought it was a draw. Tie break! They reconstructed the last 40 moves later by analysing the film material in slow motion. And, yes, it was very very hot inside and outside of the Palais, were this event happend. |

| mistreaver: <pezzonovate> acctualy rook vs knight is not an automatic draw it can also be very tricky. I am new here so i don't know how to link games but i remember Kasparov won R+N v R ending against Judit Polgar. |

| ozmikey: Time trouble or not, it's extraordinary that Karpov missed 40...Re2, with an absolutely trivial win. One of the worst blunders of his career? |

| kooley782: Yeah, Spassky has no losses with the king's gambit. |
|

| DrCurmudgeon: Spassky has dozens of losses with the King's Gambit. We just don't have a record of any of them. |
