May-06-02  bishop: 30...Qf6? a rare oversight for Karpov,he should have played ...Qg7 or Be8 or Nd8.
Sep-06-04  offramp: I don't think 30....Qf6 is the lemon, because all of the other suggested moves also lose

30...Qg7 31.Qb1 b6 32.Qb5 Nb8 33.Qc4 Anand;
30...Be8 31.Qh8+ Ke7 32.Ba2 Anand(32.Bg2) ;
30...Nd8 31.Bxf7 Qg7 32.Qxg7+ Kxg7 33.Ba2 Anand

The bad move was 27...g5 [27...g6 is better: 28.h5 g5 29.Nd5 Qe6 30.Qh7 Ne7±]

Feb-15-05  watchchess79: I am little new to chess. Can anybody tell me what happens if 31> .. QXf7.
Feb-15-05  offramp: 31...Qxf7 32.Ng6+ Ke8 33.Qh8+ Qf8 34.Qxf8#
