analysethat: Gufeld finds two manoeuvres particularly subtle.
19. f6! to prevent black taking with Bxf5

|
analysethat: <I love the queen manouevering from d1-h5-h4-e1-c3.> Good comment and I agree. i saw the moves to h5 and h4 as individual moves, but Kasparov included them as part of a bigger plan. This cleared d1 for the rook and got the queen on to the black squares so that black had to

analysethat: <15.Nb3!! ended that match immediately—Vishy put up incredible resistance but it took him a few YEARS to recover from his loss >

| | May-08-08 Karpov vs Lampis Tagmatarxis, 2001
| |
|
analysethat: <KKW: 6...d5 was Black's major blunder> good point. When Karpov played 7. exd5! he probably already saw the variation in which the knight would be hanging for 11.Qxd5 once the pawn was d pawn was gone. He was going to win something, the knight was a bonus. His sequence of ...

analysethat: < I suppose you don't have much regard for Petrosian either, who left his queen en pris to a knight capture? Or for Karpov, who lost a game to Christiansen in 12 moves as a result of blundering a piece? I could go on if you'd like ...> DO you have that Karpov game? He was ...

analysethat: paladinatlarge quotes Capa as saying <After 36. Qf4 "It is curious to note that although we had foreseen this situation at move 21. calculating ,that 36. Qd3 was the strongest move, " > Now,Is this a misprint or did Capa see 32 Nxg7 (and beyond) when playing 21. Nb3 - Or ...

| |
|
analysethat: Fischer said that he 'liked to throw the ball around until he got an opening, and then hit that with all he's got". 14 ... Nc5 whilst a strong move in its own right was a typical Fischer 'shot' setting up the tactics after Qxb4. It did not do any harm to his position, but it ...
