Apr-10-05		Karpova: 13.f5? weakens the e-pawn and accomplishes nothing. pretty unnecessary if white can't start an attack on the king's wing. 16...rhf8 is a loss of time. immediate f6 was better since she plays it just two moves later anyway. i don't get the sense of the b4-a3 manoever. what did white have in mind? c5 isn't prevented because of simply re5. 25.rd5: i think nd5: would have been better. the knight would get into play while he stays out of play for the rest of the game after the textmove.
