| Aug-13-03 | | PinkPanther: Why did Karpov resign here? |
|
| Aug-13-03 | | PinkPanther: Oh, wait nevermind. I see, the bishop and knight are forked by the queen. |
|
| Oct-05-03 | | Bears092: Qb8 followed by Bd6 has been a far more effective plan for black. |
|
| Oct-05-03 | | Shadout Mapes: Hindsight is always 20/20 |
|
| Oct-06-03 | | Phoenix: It's games like these that make you yell out, "HAHA! YOU'RE HUMAN! HAHAHA!" and other nonsense of this type. |
|
| Oct-06-03 | | Diggitydawg: What was Karpov smoking?? According to the links presented below, Christiansen added insult to injury by asking the former World champ, "Do you want to go over the game?"
Ouch!!

| Oct-06-03 | | Catholic Bishop: 12. Qd1 What a sick move |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | Phoenix: "Do you want to go over the game?" That's pretty funny. |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | mikejaqua: Could someone tell what is wrong with 12... Be5? Then if 13. Qxh5 Bxc3+ 14. bxc3 and black is still just a pawn down and white has doubled pawns on the b file. Seems playable. |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | PizzatheHut: After 12...Be5 13. Qxh5 Bxc3+ 14. bxc3 white is 3 pawns down. Even though there are doubled pawns on the c-file, it doesn't outweigh being a piece down, especially when playing another GM. On top of everything, Karpov's ego was probably hurt, and he just wanted to get away from the game. |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | pkramer: Hi mikejaqua, after 12 ..Be5 13. Qxh5 Bxc3+ 14. bxc3 black is not a pawn down, but a pawn and a piece. |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | talchess2003: Qd1 wasnt a sick move.. an amateur could find that.. and to think that this was the guy that Fischer was afraid of! |
|
| Oct-07-03 | | mikejaqua: Ah I see. He's down a whole bishop. Still I wonder about 14... Bxe4. Now he's down 2 pawns with a fairly strong bishop in the middle. Then he can put a rook on b8 or c8. His king looks awfully vulnerable though. No knights to guard him if he castles. |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | deep blue: fischer lost quick games as well talchess. If u play 1000s of games you will do moves like that every so often |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | euripides: 14...Bxe4 15 Qe5 Bg6 16Qxg7 Rf8 17 Bh6 or 16...Ke7 17 Bg5+ looks decisive. |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | patzer2: Has Karpov ever made a worse blunder than 11...Bd6?? Per Fritz 8, the best alternative is 11...Bc5!, which equalizes after 12. Bxc5 bxc5 13. Qe2 Qb8 14. 0-0-0 Qe5 15. g3 Nf6 16. Bg2 Qc7 17. f3 d6 (0.00 @ 15/41 depth & 585kN/s). |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | Alchemist: Sometimes I get so accustomed to my opponents no longer attempting this sort of elementary tactic against me that I stop looking for the small stuff. I imagine this is what happened here to Karpov. |
|
Nov-11-03
 | | Eggman: <Fischer lost quick games as well talchess> Not nearly this quick (to my knowledge), nor do I ever recall Fischer making a blunder of this magnitude, but in Karpov's defense he has played three or four times as many games of classical chess as Fischer did. |
|
Nov-11-03
| | Eggman: I notice this game was played in 1993. 1992-1993 was kind of a slump for Karpov, losing three consecutive games at Tilburg (I think it was Tilburg) and losing the candidates match to the heavy underdog Short. At the time it seemed that Karpov, in his early 40s, was simply declining, but once he won the FIDE title in 1993 he came storming back, as formidable as ever. You know, as long as Karpov was going to make such a blunder, why couldn't he have done so against some 1800 guy? That would have been nice. But then he doesn't play 1800 guys. Oh, well. |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | skakmiv: Yeah, then he also won the Linares tournament.. |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | Spitecheck: Any wonder Karpov should blunder when his opponent should continually ignore that oft repeated rule in the chess opening....never move the same piece twice.....clearly Karpov must have expected what....umm .. Be2, Rd1 and O-O? Qd1 is a hard move to see especially for the black player as the Queen has already moved and d1 is back to where it was! Retreating to advance so to speak. Spitecheck |

| | Eggman: <Qd1 is a hard move to see ... > Yes, and how often do you see a Bishop on d6 that is undefended, let alone in a position in which there is simultaneously an undefended Knight at h5? Another very simple but unusual combination was missed by both players in the opening of the game Kasparov vs Karpov, 1994 at the Linares supertournament. |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | talchess2003: "Do you want to go over the game?"
HAHAHA! I literally despise Karpov, I hate his style, and plainly since he is a rival of Kasparov, and OMG ive heard so much about how he smells! I have read so many GM's books where they say, oh yes, Karpov.... "the king of stench". And some of them even go into a vivid description of his hygiene! UGH. Do you think he does it just to set his opponent off, or literally is he just a stinkhouse that neither deodorerent nor cologne can deodorize? Btw, I know Christiansen a bit. He has shown up at my club, and once visited a chess clique of mine that plays in a community center. |

| Nov-11-03 | | Jack21221: Pheonix: That "Ha! You are human!" comment is right on the money. That is the first thing that went through my mind. :p |
|
| Nov-11-03 | | karnak64: This one is a real Homer Simpson "D'oh!" Or, as we said in Minnesota, "Awwww, 'fer dumb!" I guess I like to see Karpov lose this way once because, um, I've lost this way more times than I can count ... |
