Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-01-04  siggemannen: this is an excellent game from Sokolov. After getting a pretty equal position he picks up pawn after pawn while Karpov is looking on. The endgame is sweet as well

  woldsmandriffield: A game that must have provided Sokolov with consolation after finally overcoming Karpov’s Caro-Kann.

  saffuna: Isn't it a bit insulting for Karpov to play on beyond move 62?
