| Dec-03-14 | | morfishine: Shouldn't this be listed as a "notable game" of the '84 match? Its thrilling enough and what-with it being Kasparov's first victory, it signaled a turnaround in the match |

| Jan-16-16 | | Albion 1959: Kasparov's first win against Karpov, at the 43rd attempt !! If you include the simul in 1975 and the three games they played prior to this match: |

Go on and crush karpov. |

| Sep-12-17 | | CMDMB: <Kasparov's first win against Karpov, at the 43rd attempt !! If you include the simul in 1975 and the three games they played prior to this match> Kasparov has described how Karpov was like his teacher in this match. Clearly, Kasparov was outclassed in the beginning. But Kasparov learned, and he became stronger than Karpov in the end. He went from elite to #1 because of Karpov, who in a way made Kasparov. Also, re: earlier comments, given that the rules were what they were, Kasparov's endurance was a key factor in his success. This should not be discounted. But as he became stronger, it's clear that he had something else, too, which set him apart. And his reign thereafter is a testament to it. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | RookFile: Hard to measure these guys. For about 10 years, Karpov won just about everything there was to win. I think that in his case he got bored playing chess. He was still a chess professional, very strong, but not willing to give his whole life to the game any more. If he hadn't lost to Kasparov it would have been to somebody else. |
|
| Sep-13-17 | | SChesshevsky: Could be a couple of confidence related things that hurt Karpov and helped Kasparov world championship wise. Not actually beating a world champion to gain the title, even though no fault of his own, robbed Karpov of that little extra confidence that can often push one over the finish line. Had Karpov beaten Fischer, I think it's more likely he would've put Kasparov away in the first match. And not being able to put away Kasparov in that first match had to also give Karpov's confidence a hit. On the other hand, Kasparov both surviving the first match and beating a world champion probably couldn't help but get a confidence boost helping future championship defenses. |

| Mar-31-18 | | Toribio3: The black king is vulnerable to checking when opposing sides queens their pawns. |
|
| Mar-31-18 | | CowChewCud: 25...h6 is another move Karpov missed to keep it simple by driving the knight away. |

 | | HeMateMe: I remember following every game in the NY Times. This was pre-internet. I seem to recall this game was adjourned and the people on my college chess team looking over the moves with me, figuring that Kasparov was winning, would win his first game of the match, a break through! |
|
| Jun-25-19 | | Momentum Man: This game boosted Kasparov ‘s momentum! |
|
| Jun-25-19 | | Howard: Like HeMateMe, I was also following the match using the NYT chess columns. Except near the end, I was starting to lose interest...draw, draw, draw, draw, draw.... |

 | | Everett: In ‘84, with a 24-game or under match, kasparov would not have gone five games down, but he very likely wouldnt have won a single game either. Karpov would have won at least one. Pick ten realities with any sensible parameters for a WC match in 1984, and Karpov wins nine of them. Imagine a reality where Karpov remains champ through 1987. How far behind is he from Kasparov then? |
|

| | HeMateMe: Kasparov would probably still end up with a slight lead in WC match victories. |

| | Everett: < HeMateMe: Kasparov would probably still end up with a slight lead in WC match victories.> Yes, likely... Assuming Kasparov wins in 1987 and then retains in 90 against Karpov. And in that alternate reality, who knows what would happen in ‘93. The circumstances of what actually DID happen is remarkably bizarre, and greatly effected the view of both players’ legacies. |
|
| Jun-28-19 | | Howard: But let's keep in mind that in, say, a 24-game match, both players probably would have played differently. Karpov, in other words, might have jumped to an early lead and then coasted along afterwards by playing for draws. A limited-game match is a different ball game than a only-wins-count match. Players tailor their playing styles differently. |

Karpov, in other words, might have jumped to an early lead and then coasted along afterwards by playing for draws. ...> Yes, and in this format with unlimited games he thought let me lead by 5-0 and see what happens ... well, well, well. |
|
| Jul-26-19 | | ajile: In the match up to this point Karpov was unbeaten in the: Queen's Indian Defense: Fianchetto. Check Variation Intermezzo Line (E15)
defense.
But here he deviated with 4..Bb7 instead of 4..Ba6. WHY? |
|
| Jul-26-19 | | thegoodanarchist: @ <ajile>:
I don't know!
But this is a beautifully and, at times, brilliantly subtle game by Kasparov. How different would chess history be, if this had been a match to 5 wins? Or 6 wins, but maximum 36 games (which was the AA/Capablanca set up, IIRC)? |
|
| Jul-26-19 | | SChesshevsky: <ajile> Looks like though Karpov drew the last two fianchetto check variations, Kasparov seemed to have some good initiative with little black counter play late in middlegame. Feeling might be that Kasparov obviously put some time in on the variation and was about to break through so a change doesn't appear ridiculous. But making Kasparov prove he could break though the fianchetto check might have been just as logical. |
|
| Nov-28-20 | | fisayo123: After 35 games, Kasparov finally scores his 1st win against Karpov. Considering in almost all those games, Kasparov was already the highest rated player in the world, it shows how much of a chess monster Karpov was. Kasparov was saved by the unlimited match. In any normal 24 game match, this would have been a beatdown. |

 | | saffuna: Did Karpov resign this after an adjournment? It doesn't look like the kind of position a player would resign today. |
