Oct-20-03 | | Spitecheck: Could someone explain this strong game from A Karpov well of late it's strong for him. Simultaneous or players erroneously juxtaposed perhaps? Spitecheck |

Oct-20-03 | | drukenknight: can he just continue w/ ...QxR+? |
|
Oct-21-03 | | Spitecheck: Yes I suppose he could DK, it's not a huge material deficit. Spitecheck |

Apr-22-04 | | Timetraveller: It's pretty convincing after 12...Qxe1; 13. Qxe1, hg6; 14. Nxd5, Nxd5; 15. Qe5, Nf6; 16. Qb5+, Kd8; 17. Qxb7, Rc8; 18. Qxa7. White has Q + 3 P's against the R + N, and Black's king is out in the open. I'd say that's resignable. |

Apr-22-04 | | Jim Bartle: Yes, something seems off here. Sunnyvale is a town in California, and this is his (its?) only game on the site. Looks like a game from a simul, and since it seems likely the opponent is wrong, it's also quite possible the colors are wrong as well. |

|
Oct-24-04 | | chesed: Is this a confirmed Karpov game? |
|
Oct-24-04 | | Saint: Was Karpov even in Sunnyvale in 88? I'm from Sunnyvale, and I don't remember this. |

Nah, that was Sunnydale... ;-)

Jan-15-08 | | MorphyMatt: Karpov's shortest defeat. 11... Qe6?? is just ridiculous. Besides, it blocks the e-pawn anyway. No point to it |
|
Jan-15-08 | | MorphyMatt: Spoke too soon. see Christiansen vs Karpov, 1993 |
|
Feb-23-09 | | WhiteRook48: yeah, reminds me of 11...Bd6?? in the LPDO game |

I think you are correct. This game is in “500 Caro-Kann Miniatures” by Bill Wall, (Chess Enterprises, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, 1991), with Wall playing White against Romeo Samo, in Sunnyvale in 1988. I wonder how Karpov's name got attached to the game? |

Mar-26-11 | | Jim Bartle: Thanks for the prompt reply, GrahamClayton! |
|
Mar-23-13 | | Caissanist: Thanks to <GrahamClayton> for catching the problem. Now all we have to do is get everyone to take it out of their collections with names like "World Champions lose miniatures", "Karpv", etc. |
