| Nov-27-13 | | karan10: What a game!!! Karpov made a wonderful endgame with his rooks and not moving hi knight |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | Howard: This was undoubtedly one of the best games of the match, in my view. So, if Kasparov had played 58.c7 (rather than push the a-pawn), then
the position was still an absolute loss for him, correct / Any comments ? |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | SimonWebbsTiger: 58. c7 would have given practical chances to hold but 59...Rcc1 does win -- Kasparov notes this in "On Modern Chess" (Vol. III, pp. 186-7). |

-Garech>
I've got a good pun for you, Garech! <A Fridge Too Far>! |
|
| May-22-17 | | pilobolus: I alway had a feeling that Karpov
was somehow robbed of his title
in this double match!
It took Kasparov more then 50 (!) games
to beat Karpov two times. And he learned
a lot during these half hundred games!
If I am rght the score those two World champion
matches benefit Karpov by two!
Karpov was robbed. |

| | offramp: Well done, Garech! I believe the pun is based on this 8 second piece of video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH.... |

| May-22-17 | | morfishine: <offramp> absolutely hilarious, I played it 10 times in a row, and laughed each time he said "Hey Fatty" ***** |

 | | HeMateMe: so many KK games are classics, fantastic. How does Karpov defend these positions? Kaspy must have been pulling his hair out doing the post mortems... |
|
| May-22-17 | | Ironmanth: What a game! |
|
| May-22-17 | | kevin86: Karpov wins this one! yet,another brilliancy! |
|
| May-22-17 | | cunctatorg: <The only problem with the description above is that Kasparov's attack (conducted very creatively all across the board, not just on the K-side) was actually winning... he missed Bc5! twice, on moves 38-39 (and before that 28.c4!), and with 39.a5? handed Karpov the control over the game. From that point on, Karpov's play was indeed impressive> Any chess game isn't the proof of a mathematical theorem! Any chess game is mostly a fight as chess is life at the edge... Therefore you shouldn't judge chess games by the standards of mathematics (aka perfection) but by the depth of the relevant difficulties that every player has to overcome... It honestly seems to me that chess here was superhuman!!... |
|
| May-22-17 | | cunctatorg: I wonder if the twentieth-first century will witness a duel comparable with the Kasparov-Karpov one or even with the Karpov-Korchnoi duel... |
|

| | HeMateMe: magnus has no Karpov to challenge him... |
|
| May-22-17 | | cunctatorg: Imho Magnus Carlsen is neither Kasparov nor Karpov ... but it is just me. Anyways Magnus insists to play one WCC match every year and particularly one match with no more than 16 games though himself and almost all the contenders are quite young; too much inflation that is in these annual WCC matches, less preparation and much less in stake... |

 | | eternaloptimist: Wow! What a great game by Karpov! Earlier in the game I thought that Karpov was *probably* going to lose b/c Kasparov had such a strong attack going (looked strong anyway). Although Karpov played well defensively, turned the game around & actually won it. Karpov has played many brilliant games in his life but this has to be 1 of his best! My favorite chess player found a way to get the job done. Karpov & Petrosian have to be considered 2 of the best defensive players of all time. |

| | HeMateMe: <Imho Magnus Carlsen is neither Kasparov nor Karpov ... but it is just me.> Wasn't Carlsen ranked in the world top five at around age 17? That would put him just around where Kasparov was, at the same time, at least in playing strength. That's why MC is on another level in today's chess, just as Kasparov was as a young world champion. |

| | offramp: <cunctatorg: I wonder if the twentieth-first century will witness a duel comparable with the Kasparov-Karpov one or even with the Karpov-Korchnoi duel...> The McDonnell-LaBourdonnais rivalry was for a long time the longest rivalry in chess history: 85 games. That was in 1834. Between 1921 and 1938 Alekhine and Euwe played 78 games. Then starting from the 1940s there were some big rivalries. Botvinnik and Smyslov played 105 games together, mainly in WC matches. Karpov and Kortschnoi: 108 games.
Karpov and Timman: 102 games so far.
Karpov and Kasparov played a mind boggling 193 games, according to cg.com. I think it is over 200. But I think that that figure will be beaten in the future. For example, Carlsen and Nakamura have played 80 games, and they are both still very young. That includes ALL chess, but that is the way chess is nowadays. It is all pretty rapid. They will have to go it a bit to beat the greatest rivalry of them all:
<"John Cochrane beat Bonnerjee Mohishunder 282 to 127, with 39 draws.">

 | | Check It Out: What a prolonged battle. White seemed to be dominating but Karpovs defense held. And then whites passed passed pawns looked to be winning but Karpovs passed pawns proved to be the key to victory. |
|
| May-04-19 | | carpovius: Fantastic game! |
|
| Aug-26-20 | | Straclonoor: Great game, agree.
I wanna add some analysis showing where right way was missed by Kasparov.39.a5? fatal mistake.

| Feb-28-21 | | tbontb: Kasparov built a winning position, rejecting a draw by repetition only to self-destruct in time trouble. After the Q exchange, Karpov was alway better and seized the opportunity to win a complicated ending. After 47. c5? there was no defence but it is not easy to suggest a viable alternative. Only 47. Rd6 Rxd6 48. Bxd6 Rxa6 49. c5 fights on but must ultimately be lost. At the end, 58. c7 e3 59. Rh2 Rcc1 60. Re2 Ne6 61. a7 Nxc7 62. a8=Q Nxa8 63. Rxa8 Rd2 looks convincing. |
