Jan-03-05  iron maiden: What was up with 30...Rc1 anyway? Some kind of joke before resigning?
Jan-03-05  white pawn: 29...Qd1!! Someone asked earlier if Judit was blindfolded. I don't know if it was answered, or not. Was she blindfolded too?
Jan-03-05  euripides: It looks as if Karpov didn't realise what happened until Judith moved her queen on move 32. I don't know how the moves in blindfold chess are called out - if a player attempts to capture on d1, are they told that they have moved to d1 but it isn't a capture ?

Feb-10-06  McCool: What? That's a joke right?
Feb-10-06  Akavall: <tpstar><In April Alexandra Kosteniuk was disqualified from the Dos Hermanas ICC Tournament for alleged computer cheating.>

That was a load of BS. I take it who ever disqualfied her were ugly girls! Seriously though, there was absolutely no evidence against Kosteniuk. They could've as well disqualified anyone.

Oct-04-06  sahmattr: To Jaymthegenius
If you cheat while playing on playchess server(using a chess softaware), they can catch you and delete all your elo rating even if you have used it for the first time. That is why many GMs play there.
Oct-19-06  Bufon: The only reason to justify this huge blunder, is that it was in the amber rapid.

  waddayaplay: As I remember it, when Polgar played 28.Rde1, Karpov incorrectly thought she had played Rfe1.
May-20-07  rook17: Rc1?? does karpov feel the need to give away more pieces? =)
May-21-07  russep: Was this blitz or something?
Oct-22-07  srinivas6195: Qd1?? being a piece up
and then Rc1??? may be they were in time trouble
Oct-22-07  Karpova: <russep: Was this blitz or something?>

<srinivas6195: Qd1?? being a piece up and then Rc1??? may be they were in time trouble>

They were probably blindfolded. The Amber tournaments in Monaco with a Blindfold and Rapid part took place for the second time in 1993 (Ljubojevic won).

Mar-18-09  WhiteRook48: what did 29...Qd1 mean at all?
Apr-25-09  WhiteRook48: at 29 Re3 black wasn't a piece up
Nov-28-09  Cercatore: Qd1???????
Jun-06-10  rapidcitychess: <Karpova>
It says Classical,Monaco 1993.

  HeMateMe: gotta be a typo. Its a Blindfold game. This is insulting to a world champion, should really be fixed, in the game description.
Jul-04-11  kia0708: super Karpov lost Q to Judith Polgar, t5hat's something. Girls power.
Feb-04-12  cristoff: please,can tell me anyone,why Karpov played Qd1????it is not a great mistake??
Feb-04-12  Blunderdome: Yes, if Karpov thought that Polgar had played 28. Rfe1, the rest of the score makes sense. This was a blindfold game.
Feb-04-15  MariusDaniel: Interesting game played by two intelligent persons,especially lady Judit
Mar-17-15  Cactusjuice: I think that judit pull a badger game
