Sep-25-09		positionalgenius: nice game by karpov.

Sep-25-09		DoubleCheck: Karpov could of reached an even better position with 47...b4! 47...b4! 48. Kxd4 b3 49. Kc3 b2 50. Rb5 b1=Q! 51. Rxb1 Rxh2 52. Rb5 Kg4 53. Rb7 g5 54. fxg5 hxg5 0-1

Sep-25-09		ajk68: <DoubleCheck: Karpov could of reached an even better position with 47...b4!> That was the move that was played.

Sep-25-09		ajk68: What was Kasparov's plan with 18. Na4 ?

Sep-25-09		goldenbear: I think he probably was thinking that this is blitz, sac a pawn, activate the rook, etc. Unfortunately, there was in fact no way to liven the play.

Sep-26-09		tivrfoa: <ajk68: What was Kasparov's plan with 18. Na4 ?> It was Kasparov's mistake. Karpov would not let Kasparov regain the pawn.

Sep-27-09		Knight13: 2800 vs 2600 Kasparov is bound to lose one game or two with 200 point difference...

Dec-03-10		freeman8201: And this is the only game Karpov wins by playing Bishop e7 on the 3rd move, according to chessgames.com.
