  An Englishman: Good Evening: After 10.0-0, White's position looks fine, doesn't it? After 21.Rd2, White's position looks horrible, doesn't it? Amazing how Karpov could persuade his opponents to ruin their own games, isn't it?
Aug-10-18  Howard: Karpov has two bishops, while his opponent has two knights.

An endgame like that would be almost certainly untenable against Karpov.
