| Jan-11-07 | | MJW 72: Karpov makes Kamsky look like a booked-up 1705 rated player. |

 | | cotdt: Kamsky learned from this game and played something similar against Carlsen, and won. |

| | Cinco: 10% of Karpov's moves in this game were with his king, and he still managed to force a resignation in 29. Brilliant! |

| | ToTheDeath: Karpov hypnotized Kamsky with his audacious king walk. Rather than accept a draw White lurches forward and gets squashed by a simple combination. 27.Qh7 g5! is quite nice for Black, but this was no reason to blunder the game away with 27.Bd2. |

|
| Feb-20-09 | | FiveofSwords: What's amazing about this game is that Kamsky actually deviated from the main line and played quite brilliantly for most of it. Karpov simply played much more brilliantly. Kamsky played like a 2750 without book knowledge and karpov played like a 2850 with book knowledge. |

30.Qxd2 Qf3+ 31.Kg1 Bh3 32.Be4 Qxe4 33.f3.
<MJW 72>
What are you talking about? Kamsky holds an advantage for most of the game. From about the 23rd move, the game is roughly even with perhaps a slight advantage to black. It isn't until Kamsky blunders with 27.Bd2 that Karpov gains a decisive advantage. |

 | | Benzol: I missed 32. e4 but after 32... xe4 33.f3 c5+ 34. h1 xc4 White still looks in a bad way. |
|
| Oct-05-09 | | darkjuva: 27 Qh7 ! |
|

| | goldenbear: <darkjuva> If 27.Qh7?, then g5!, with the threat of Rxe3. |

| | goldenbear: By the way, the most brilliant, incredible move of the game to me is not the crazy king walk, but 16.Bc6. No amount of exclaimation marks is sufficient. I would have never played that in a million years. |

You're right, of course, but actually better than 34...Qxc4 is 34...Qf5, when white's rook must fall, as any rook move is at worst mate in four for black (e.g. 35.Re1 Qxf3+ 36.Qg2 Bxg2#). <Woody Wood Pusher>
I disagree. I think 27.Bd2 is the losing blunder. White's best move is 27.Kg1, after which the game is still fairly even. However, even 27.Bd1 is not so bad, as after 27...Bf5, White has 28.Qb3, avoiding material loss. 27.f4 is also not so bad, as 27...Bb4 is met by 28.Bd4 Rxe1 29.Rxe1 Rxe1 30.Bxf6, with a roughly even game. Best after 27.f4 is 27...Bc5, retaining a small advantage for black. |

| | AnalyzeThis: It's a good game, but if Kamsky doesn't blunder on move 27, just a draw. |
|
| Jun-23-11 | | DrMAL: Kamsky got an advantage out the opening and built it up further to around a point after 17.d5 but then he made a series of slight mistakes while Karpov played more accurately. After 26...Bg4 Rybka 4.1 evaluates a clear advantage (line truncated): [-0.75] d=21 27.Bd1 Bf5 (1:02:16) 397146kN Since Karpov was playing better whereas Kamsky was playing worse, it seems clear Karpov would have won anyway if Kamsky had not blundered with 27.Bd2. Great complex positional game! |

| Jun-23-11 | | M.D. Wilson: <AnalyzeThis: It's a good game, but if Kamsky doesn't blunder on move 27, just a draw.> Not quite. Look at the resulting lines. |
|
| Jun-23-11 | | newton296: <mastermind7994: This game is an example of Karpov's style.> I gotta disagree!
the way the open is played its clear karpov is in no mood for a fight, and is just going for a draw. and up till move 15 karpov just keeps offering trades. but karpov is so good that around move 20 he sees kamsky isn't playing well either and so he hatches a plan to win by doubling down his rooks on the open efile. (drawish plan really but what else is there) karpov invest an amazing 6 or 7 moves to reshuffle half his pieces and meanwhile kamsky starts to play so insipid that he actually lets karpov do it! I think kamsky then realizes how insipid he is playing, making the Bd2 blunder, almost predictable by the time he plays it! poor kamsky! |
|
| Jun-24-11 | | DrMAL: This was an extremely complex mostly positional game that best suited Karpov's biggest strength, particularly in his later years. As such it serves as a great example of Karpov's style. |

| Aug-09-11 | | kasparvez: This game is quite something! I am surprised it's so underrated. Karpov's 10... Qg4!? [instead of 10...Qh3 11. Re1+ 11...Be6 where white can play c4 with advantage] appears more of a psychological choice, to provoke Kamsky, rather than actually wheeling an attack. He is assisted here by Kamsky's natural reply 11. Re1+, which promptly helps him uncork the novelty on the next move. 11...Kd8 was a great move, totally a-la-Steinitz! It appears Kamsky didn't quite understand what's going on over the board. Its only after 15...Re8!, followed by 16...Bc6!?, 19...Re7!, 21...Ke8 and finally 23...Kf8! The entire conception revealed itself! Just compare the board on move 11 with move 25...its plain witchcraft! Kamsky, understandably, was shaken, and in the zeal of punishing his opponent's audacious conception, tried to decide the matter with one shot- 26. Qd3? and as it is, ran into the counterpunch 26...Bg4! Of course, 27.Bd2? was a blunder, but his position was already sad. Its games like these which reveal the depth of Karpov's evaluation of a position. Masterclass, i must say! |

| May-23-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Great game by WC Karpov here!
"29...?" Black to play and win, would make an excellent Wednesday puzzle. LTJ |
