33: Rxf4, Qxf4+
34: Kg1
Karpov will take the Queen and exchange the Rook?
A final with only a Bishop and Paws vs Queen and Paws was really difficult, but maybe The World can try to take a draw ( VERY difficult, of course ). |

| Jan-05-12 | | Rob Lob Law: 15. dxc5 blah. There had to be something better there. Such a timid move with the white pieces. How about 15. g4 |

 | | lost in space: <<Open Defence:> <jovack> it would be fair to say Karpov's chess abilities are "Out of this World> <<whiteshark:> <Open Defence> Does that mean you think Karpov is an alien ? :D> No, I think <Open Defence> means that Karpov is lost in space. |

| Jan-05-12 | | fokers13: 19.Bc4?? was the losing move.
Rbd1 was necessary with small chances of drawing a bad finale after Bxf3 and the subsequent exchange of queens(judging by white's bad play that is objectively the position is closer to a draw than a win). |
|
| Jan-05-12 | | iroozdar: Hi Rob Lob Law!
i think 15.g4 is good
and plz tel me about 15.Be5
Thanks |
|
| Jan-05-12 | | iroozdar: Hi fokers13!
19.Rbd1 is good, but why 19... BXf3 ?
i think after 19.Rbd1, black move: Qxa2
My idea:
19.Rbd1 Qxa2 20.g4 Bg6 21.Bxg6 hxg6 22.Qb5 b6 23.c4 Rac8 24.Qb4 Rxd1
Thanks |

| Jan-05-12 | | karnak64: Well, this isn't my world (or my father's Oldsmobile). Just curious, opening B17 is here called the "Karpov variation"; I know he played it a lot, but I've also seen it named for Steinitz and Nimzovich. Any thoughts as to why this variation has no stable name? |

 | | AylerKupp: Given White's space advantage I think White went wrong as early as 6.Bd3, allowing the knight exchange and a slight relief in Black's position. The current Opening Explorer shows 6.Bd3 to be a relatively unpopular move, played only on 25 games out of 761 games that arrived at this position (slightly over 3%). And White's winning percentage is dismal, 20% compared with Black's 64%, with a vary small percentage of draws (16%). I would have tried 6.Ng3 or even 6.Nc3. |

 | | WannaBe: <<<ATTENTION PLEASE>>> As some of you have noticed, CG.com was very gracious in helping to get the words out for the 2011 Caissar Awards. (That big banner ad on the front page =) We are currently in the nomination stage, and will be accepting them through this weekend. Full details on the categories and voting days are in my profile (Click on the Wabbit avatar.) Please keep in mind of two things, 1. we are still in the nomination (or Primary stage, if you will, after all, this is 2012 =), and 2. remember, we are celebrating events/posts/puns that happened in 2011. Thank you for your time. |

 | | playground player: Someone around here must remember "The World is Not Enough" by Zoe Oldenbourg, a great novel of Medieval France. Can anybody tell me what would be the point of having Rybka or any computer tell "the world" what moves to make against a GM? |

 | | Penguincw: Karpov seemed to have done better than Kasparov. Karpov had black and only needed 32 moves. Kasparov had white and needed 61 moves. Maybe Karpov just played against a bunch of internet people. |

| | AylerKupp: <playground player: Can anybody tell me what would be the point of having Rybka or any computer tell "the world" what moves to make against a GM?> If you take a bunch of enthusiastic but very likely below master-strength players and average out their capabilities then their playing strength will very likely be much below any GM's. So unless the world team has some near-GM-level players on the team that are recognized as being strong and can advise the team on what moves to make, the world team would not have much of a chance against any GM. Probably not much fun for the world team to start a game almost guaranteed of certain defeat. Enter Rybka or any other good computer engine. They are recognized to be strong and can provide good move advice. It is still up the to world team to decide whether to follow the various engines' move recommendations but at least they have an even chance when entering the tactical complications that a GM play. Does that make some sense? |

 | | Domdaniel: Correspondence players, before the arrival of strong engines, played at a very high level. It is quite likely that a team of strong cc players, using web-era communications but not chess engines, would be a match for an OTB GM. This remains to be demonstrated, of course. |
|
| Jan-21-14 | | RookFile: It's a lame move, but 13. Be2 probably would have allowed white to steer this game towards a draw. |

| | Domdaniel: I'm considering taking a second French newspaper ... Le Monde is insufficient. |
|
| Sep-13-14 | | SpiritedReposte: Nice rook walk at the end. |
|
| Sep-24-14 | | Ke2: 6. Bd3 is awful and goes to show how bad the World Team was. Simply Nxf6 or Ng3. This Bd3 allows Black already a comfortable extra tempo and pretty much equalizes. |
|
| Sep-24-14 | | Ke2: Remember, Kasparov played the insanely dangerous gamble 7... h6 here Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997 only for the purpose of gaining that tempo. |
