| Nov-09-05 | | alexandrovm: droping a piece in the opening, not a nice thing to start with. |
|
| Nov-27-05 | | Chopin: I guess even chess legends can blunder in the opening. |
|
| Jan-06-06 | | blingice: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... <bigfatton>, you are quite wrong. I know that these aren't all GMs, but I do know that many of them are. |
|
| Mar-26-06 | | who: It took me quite some time to even find one in that list, but here's an example Spassky vs Rodgaisky, 1948 |
|
| May-18-06 | | BobbyBishop: Maybe Karpov forgot the rest of this line because he was in book until move 11. He maybe thought oh this looks like a solid developing move and who am I playing? a mere 2500+ GM how bad could it be?!? Live and learn :) |
|
| May-18-06 | | RookFile: I think it's just a case of somebody thinking purely along strategical lines, and turning off their tactical radar. ....Bf4 is desirable for black, to exchange off white's good bishop, and leave him with a light squared bishop without much of a future. This is all well and good, but when Qd1 forks two pieces, you don't play such a move. |
|
| Jun-19-06 | | CapablancaFan: This is just simply Karpov caught napping. He must have had an all nighter before this game which explains this blunder. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | argishti: wat a blow... |
|
| Jul-11-07 | | Granny O Doul: In the later game van Wely-Karpov, White played 10 Be3 and Karpov commented simply that if 10 Bf4, Black gets a good game after ...Nh5 11 Be3 with either ...Qc7 or ...Qb8 (no mention of ...Bd6!). |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Whack8888: It is surprisingly easy to play ridiculous blunders like this--I find that after I win a couple games, I start to get real confident about my skillz and start to think things like, yeah Bd6, putting the bishop in front of my pawns will be real cool. Often, my games end like this. Fortunately, after a loss like this I usually play really really well for a while. I am almost sure Karpov won his next game at Wijk (though at GM level, maybe he just pressed real hard but still only got a draw). These things happen :) |

 | | Phony Benoni: Lost Piece During Opening? |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | t3hPolak: Ah, poor Karpov. |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | deadlysin: what a double attack. |

 | | perfidious: <Phony Benoni> Loose Pieces Drop Off, a comment made by the English player Mike Cook to John Nunn after a series of quick games they played some years ago. |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | Murphyman: Someone earlier commented that Karpov is still in book up to move 11. <Bobby Bishop>
How can Ba6 followed immediately by Bb7 be any good - it uses 2 tempi? |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <Murphyman: Someone earlier commented that Karpov is still in book up to move 11. <Bobby Bishop> How can Ba6 followed immediately by Bb7 be any good - it uses 2 tempi?> Such a manoeuvre is quite common in QID. It doesn't lose a tempo in fact as it forces white to spent a tempo too for protecting of Pc4 via any weakening move or move which harms coordination of white pieces. An example of more successful use of this line is C Lutz vs Karpov, 1993 |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | pawnofdoom: According to John Nunn, LPDO is Loose Pieces Drop Off. Check out <notyetagm>'s collection: Game Collection: Loose Pieces Drop Off (LPDO)
This game sjhould go in there. |

| Dec-27-07 | | UdayanOwen: It is unquestionably encouraging when super GM's make the simplest possible tactical blunders. I would like to be a titled player in the future, preferably an IM or more... I often used to doubt whether this was realistic because of simple blunders I made at times... I used to assume that any IM or GM would have been so talented that they would not have made simple blunders when they were at 1500 or 1750 or 2000 strength, as I have. Then when I began to gain exposure to an increasing number of simple blunders by titled players, including super GM's, I realized that making simple blunders even when very experienced is not evidence that you don't have the potential to be a titled player. By the way, I can't give a link to the game score, but many people will remember the fairly recent game where Kramnik blundered by missing a defensible mate in 1 in a big match against a computer (can't remember which one). If he can do that, then I'll never again doubt myself after a tactical blunder.... |

| Dec-27-07 | | D4n: This was a short one...
|
|
| Dec-27-07 | | znprdx: with respect to this diversion : <keypusher: 18. Bxb7+ Kxb7 (So it's over, right? Well...)> of course: with 19.Rb1+ ...Kc8 20. Rxb8[N] K-d7 21. Qxa7+ ...Ka8 20. Bxb8[N] Rxb8[N]21. Qxc6+ |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | pawnofdoom: <UdayanOwen> The game you mentioned is Kramnik versus Deep Fritz: Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006 Rarely will you ever find that an undeveloping move like ♕d1 wins a game at move 11 |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | klon3: Karpov wrote afterwards that he played 11..Bd6 with the idea of preventing f2-f4. However he missed a simple tactic Qd1 winning a piece. |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | Chesstalesfan: <znprdx>with respect to this diversion : <keypusher: 18. Bxb7+ Kxb7 (So it's over, right? Well...)> of course: with 19.Rb1+ ...Kc8 20. Rxb8[N] K-d7 21. Qxa7+ ...Ka8 20. Bxb8[N] Rxb8[N]21. Qxc6+ Sorry but 19Rb1+ is nt met by 19..Bxb1? |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | kevin86: What happened to Karpov? Did someone slip him a Mickey? Play that bad should get him arrested by the LAPD-lol |
|
| Dec-27-07 | | kevin86: A favorite expression is:"Hindsight is always 20/20". Would that also imply that you have eyes in your butt? lol |
