 | | harrylime: Maybe we can say History has been kind to Karpov.... Fischer would have destroyed him in 1975. |
|
| Oct-18-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <harrylime: Fischer would have destroyed him in 1975.> Destroyed him like a Taimsnov or Larsen? No way, <harry>. He did by no means destroy Spassky in '72 (the final score was 12½ - 8½ in Fischer's favour). It is hard to believe that Karpov would have fared significantly worse than Spassky. My guess is that Fischer would have won, but not by that much, I think. And he would most certainly not have obliterated him. That is highly unlikely. But we will never know.. |

| | harrylime: <The Count>
A motivated Fischer would have been too hot for Karpov in 75 ... and it wasn't just Karpov, it was the entire Soviet establishment Bobby would have been , and actually already was, facing ... .. Those days were surreal and hard to relate to now! I love Karpov and respect him immensely . But Fischer was a different animal. |

| Jun-03-19 | | RadioBoy: The key to rook and pawn or King and pawn endgames is learning all of the nasty little tricks, preferably not by losing over the board. Then keeping an eye out for when you are in or may be in one of these positions or can trade down into one of these positions, especially if you are the unhappy soul who is going to be at the receiving end of the trick. I'm sure there are many in this game, but the one I will remember is the sacrifice of the pawn to temporarily to gain King entry. The first trick that I learned was with white rook and pawn at A8 and A7, and the black king having the choice of h7 or G7. Unfortunately, at the tail end of a long combination my black king ended up on f7. however I was more than happy to pass on this knowledge to the next generation when I could. |

| Jun-19-19 | | Howard: Kasparov, as I recall, states in MGP that the adjourned position was probably already won for White...but Stockfish seems to strongly disagree. |

 | | Fusilli: <Howard: Kasparov, as I recall, states in MGP that the adjourned position was probably already won for White...but Stockfish seems to strongly disagree.> My interpretation of that is that Kasparov is saying a strong GM should win against another strong GM, while Stockfish is objecting "but Alpha Zero, with perfect play, would save it for Black!" They are probably both right. BTW, at the beginning of all the kibitzing on this game, <drukenknight> says adjournment was at move 47, with White sealing his move. Is that true? If the time control was at 40 (was it?), it seems like a lot of moves before adjourning when there was so much at stake. |
|
| Jun-19-19 | | areknames: <Fusilli> According to Larsen's book the adjournment was on move 47 although it was Karpov who sealed his move. Larsen writes: "It is rather astonishing that Karpov spent less than 10 minutes on moves 31-40; he still had more than an hour left on his clock at move 40!" Also, commenting on 41.e4!?: "Looks risky, but Korchnoi may have thought that after the adjournment he wouldn't get a chance to play this move." |
|
| Jun-21-19 | | Howard: Doesn't the book Korchnoi: Move by Move analyze this game ? |
|
| Jun-22-19 | | whiteshark: <Howard> p 425-434 Korchnoi also has analysed the resulting ♖endgame after <46...axb5> on 23 pages in his book --> Game Collection: 28a_Korchnoi's "Practical Rook Endings" |
|
| Jun-25-19 | | Howard: Yes, I am aware of that book---Korchnoi analyzes that endgame to death in his book. |
|
| Aug-26-19 | | KID Slayer: Excellent finish by Viktor my all-time fave! Reminds me of the classic Capa-Tartakower match of 1924 with 49.Kc3! that takes the rook-and-pawn ending in real style. |

 | | saffuna: Daniel King discusses this game on the Perpetual Chess podcast. He says he discussed this game with Korchnoi, how Karpov could have drawn. "It was a draw, but that's kind of irrelevant. Korchnoi's concept in that rook-and-pawn endgame, was out of this world. The whole game was like a saga, it was an epic game." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca... At about 1:04. wherever you can |
