Kibitzer's Corner
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.

  offramp: If it was a simultaneous display of some sort the Karpov would have been white.
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.
Aug-06-06  mack: Maybe Karpov was put off by the hellmouth.
Aug-06-06  dehanne: <Maybe Karpov was put off by the hellmouth.> Nah, that was Sunnydale... ;-)

Accelerated blunder

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

Yes, something seems off here. Sunnyvale is a town in California, and this is his (its?) only game on the site.

<Jim Bartle>,
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.

Phil Hellmuth lives in Palo Alto, not Sunnyvale.
