Apr-25-05  The beginner: 18 Qb3 ouchh. This is a really bad move to make against Karpov hehe.
Apr-25-05  Marvol: LOL not just against Karpov, but it would have been fatal against ME as well haha.

White refuses to give up for quite awhile after giving away his bishop, stretching the game to a point where it looks like it could have been a normal game - it wasn't :-).

Dec-25-05  Chopin: 18) ♕b3 is a huge blunder. After that, the white bishop is pinned, and lights out.
Dec-25-05  aw1988: It's not pinned, it's trapped.
Dec-25-05  Chopin: <aw1988> <It's not pinned, it's trapped> You're right; I stand corrected- must still have a hangover from last night :)

Well at least my d5-bishop is in an outpost. What do you mean it's not? 18 ... c6! traps my bishop? D'oh!

Damn, 9-year old Karpov plays better than I do.
