 | | kingscrusher: I'm preparing a video annotation of this game, and it appears that at the point of the horrific blunder at the end, Black is better according to Rybka. E.g. - check the side variation

Jun-04-08 | | ezmerin: Bareev was in trouble, but I believe 35...Rxd5 36. Nxd5 Bd8 was enough to get a draw. That was a shock crash. It's hard to explain this blunder. Maybe Black were calculating the endgame with move Ba7 and believed so much his line will appear on the board, that he automatically responded by playing it? I happens from time to time. |

Dec-22-08 | | WhiteRook48: I don't Bareev that Bareev played 35...Ba7??? |
|

 | | whiteshark: damned bitter |
|
Dec-23-08 | | WhiteRook48: ....Ba7???? how many question marks should this get? ? ? Long live the Beer and ? pages |
|
Jan-05-09 | | WhiteRook48: can anyone explain this blunder? |
|
Jan-22-09 | | WhiteRook48: what do they call this? A helpmate? |
|
Feb-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: 35...Ba7 is SO the worst move |
|
Mar-29-09 | | WhiteRook48: Black was bareeved for this loss |
|
May-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: well there are worse moves |
|
Dec-14-09
 | | tpstar: So Karpov is famous for 24. Ba7!! Karpov vs Unzicker, 1974 while Bareev is infamous for 35 ... Ba7?? <a real kramnik> Sure. |
|
Mar-19-11 | | Tigranny: No offense, but that may be the dumbest blunder ever. Anybody could see that 35...Ba7??? leads to 36.Rxd8 mate. |
|
Mar-19-11 | | shadowleaf04: I just felt that Bareev had mentally exchanged the rooks when he played 35..Ba7. He was holding his own in this game. Another example of a one-move disaster. |
|

 | | thegoodanarchist: When I played through this game I thought the score must be wrong - Bareev does not play such moves! But apparently, from reading the comments, it is all too real. |

|
Aug-27-16 | | atragon: Really an incredible blunder... after 35.. Rxd5 36. Rxd5 Bd8 some engines (Komodo 10 and SF 160716) give a small edge to black.... even if white can manage to a draw. But in Linares 1994 the stars were on Karpov's side. |
|
Aug-27-16 | | Granny O Doul: I think we are agreed that 35 ...Ba7 was in error. |
|

 | | perfidious: <DP12: Fortune smiled upon Anatoli Yevgenyvich for that entire tournament....> Just ask Eric Schiller: the reason behind Karpov's smashing triumph was that most of his opponents faced Kasparov the round before, so were 'softened up'. |
|
Mar-21-17 | | Swapmeet: I think the only remotely plausible explanation is that Bareev had already mentally played 35...Rxd5. Definitely one of the most shocking blunders in history, but can you imagine the pressure at this level? |
|
Feb-15-18 | | tgyuid: henrik larsen once missed a penalty |
|
Feb-15-18 | | tgyuid: 'only those who never play never lose.... |

 | | cSete: ...Ba7. Wood pusher that I am, I spent quite a bit of time on the following move. Were my pieces misplaced? Was this some sort of elaborate trap? |
|
Mar-18-20
 | | cSete: tgyuid
True......very true! |
|
May-19-20 | | MrCalculater: Ba7 lose the rook even if it's not mate |
|
May-19-20 | | Granny O Doul: Likewise, it's mate even if it doesn't lose the rook. |
