Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-26-09  AnalyzeThis: Too many moves with the f8 bishop.
Sep-30-10  thegoodanarchist: Black resigned because after ...Qf6 (only move) then the rook is skewered with Bg5
Feb-08-12  lupko: thegoodanarchist: in fact, after Qf6 g5 traps the queen
Feb-08-12  JohnBoy: <anarchist, lupko> If you see a good move, look for a better one. Thanks for the reminder.
Aug-03-12  backrank: Where is the queen trapped here? After 26 ... Qf6 27 Bg5 she can safely go to d6 (the B doesn't control that square an more after having moved to g5) ... but after 28 Qxd6 and 29 Bxd8 Black is a full rook down.

Some statistics:

Rogoff: 3421 pages of kibitzing

Karpov: 207 pages of kibitzing

May-23-13  Everett: <back rank> you are mixing up two posts. After 26..Qf6 27.g5 the Q seems trapped, which is what was suggested.
Mar-12-18  thegoodanarchist: <JohnBoy: <anarchist, lupko> If you see a good move, look for a better one. Thanks for the reminder.>

Indeed!

  perfidious: Dang, Karpov had just turned twenty and looks barely old enough to shave.

  perfidious: <td>, no mistaking the fiery red hair; I first encountered Kaplan a bit later, in 1974 or '75 at the Continental Open in Manhattan.
Dec-01-20  technical draw: The person standing I believe is former Puerto Rico champion Manuel Moraza:

Rogoff is actually two years younger and looks like he has taken time off from a revolutionary cell, before going back to plant a bomb.

  HeMateMe: just scrolling around, noticed this game. I'm mildly surprised that Ken Rogoff was talented enough to warrant a game with Mr. Karpov.

AND mr. Rogoff was a boffo economist. However, Mr. Karpov was the more talaned stamp collector. We'll have to give him that.
