Jul-20-05		pencuse: Karpov has lost this game because of zeitnot (time). But anyway, its position is helpless, for example: 36. f3 Rc2+ 37. Kf1 Qc4+ 38. Kg1 Qd4+ 38. Kh1 Qf2 ; 36. Rd1 Qxg4+ 37. Qxg4 Rxg4+ and 38. ... Rxg6. Ivanchuk was 21 years old and won Linares 1991, against the tournament players who were in top 50 those days.

Oct-21-05		Brown: Only game between the two that Ivanchuk won at classical time controls, Karpov has won 3, with a few draws. Mostly active and rapid games from Monaco between these two.
