 | | chancho: <shanbopop> Karpov lost this game, yes, but HE won the match... |
|
| Jun-20-07 | | shanbopop: Of course,i know that but a prime Karpov wouldnt lose a single game vs Kamsky.Gata was NEVER as dedicated to the game as Karpov is.Surely you agree? |

 | | plang: <Of course,i know that but a prime Karpov wouldnt lose a single game vs Kamsky.Gata was NEVER as dedicated to the game as Karpov is.Surely you agree?> Are we talking about the same Kamsky who had recently defeated Kramnik (3-0) and Anand in matches? In the mid 90s Kamsky was a pretty tough customer and was capable of beating anyone on any given day. |
|
| Jun-20-07 | | Jim Bartle: Kamsky was totally dedicated, maybe obsessively so, until he abruptly quit. His father made sure of that in no uncertain terms. Kamsky got hammered in the 96 match, but he did win three games. |
|
| Aug-09-07 | | aleister23: Ok Kamsky was never will ever be better than Karpov, what you guys dont understand is that Karpov in his prime was unbeatable, and yet past his prime as chess life said (which is nothing compared to an european chess magazine) karpov still unbeatable, Kamsky, Shabalov, Nakamura,(all of them jokes!) Ehlvest(according to chess magazine "a prodigy") yet Karpov beat him 8 to 0 with eight draws!!!, come on for pete's sake
and I am not kidding! |
|
| Aug-09-07 | | cotdt: karpov in his prime? and when was this? his rating was actually higher in the mid-90s than it has ever been, and he was quite strong during this time. |
|
| Aug-10-07 | | RookFile: Well, most people figure that from around 1978-1981 or so Karpov was at his best. |
|
| Aug-10-07 | | cotdt: <RookFile>I couldn't really tell by the games I've seen. Maybe the competition was just weaker during that time. |
|
| Aug-10-07 | | aleister23: Karpov will always be on his prime, unlike botvinnik, that when he got older in USSR vs the World in 1970 was serving the players coffee!
I dont know why people hate karpov, or say :" Kasparov is better than Karpov" Kasparov's game is plain and dull, now Kasparov is past his prime......... |
|

 | | lostemperor: So it was Botvinnik's coffee then that made the USSR beat the world by a small margin! He showed that his collective ideology was for real. |
|

| | lostemperor: If only Fischer had served the world coffee, they would have crushed the Soviets :-p |
|
| Aug-12-07 | | aleister23: hahah If Fischer would have served the coffee he would be now in jail for poisoning both the grandmasters from russia and the world lol |

| May-23-08 | | ezmerin: This game was carefully analyzed in 'Exploiting Small Advantages' - a book by Eduard Gufeld. He thinks 24...Bg4 is an inaccuracy, which allows white to keep his rook on the board and mount kingside offensive. Gufeld gives 24...Rfe8 and Bg4 next, with one extra exchange that simplifies Black defensive task. Gufeld praises 25th, 28th, 45th and 46th White moves. There is no arguing with that. White pieces can do little damage without aid of the pawns. And three of four 'Gufeld exclamation moves' are pawn moves. |

| Jun-02-12 | | kasparvez: This is a Caro Kann, not a Nimzo. Chessgames.com is requested to correct the info. |
|
| Jun-02-12 | | Abdel Irada: The Caro-Kann (Panov-Botvinnik) and the Nimzo-Indian often transpose into one another. |
|
| Jun-30-12 | | kasparvez: Sure they do, but its expected that while designating an opening we shall follow precise move orders than transposed tabiyas. |
|
| Jun-06-15 | | jerseybob: <Abdel Irada: The Caro-Kann (Panov-Botvinnik) and the Nimzo-Indian often transpose into one another.>
By what means? I've seen the Panov-Botvinnik and Scandanavian, where black offers a gambit with c6, transpose into one another, but the Nimzo? |

 | | Troller: In Elista Diaries Karpov considers that 16..Qc7 is inferior (16..Qb6 <offers Black chances to defend>). Also 17..Qa5 is given ?!, but no good alternative is provided. Like Gufeld, Karpov praises 25.a6:
<If I were allowed to capture this pawn on a5 with my knight, and play b7-b6; I would secure some bases for my pieces and improve my prospects for defense. Gata does not allow me this chance.> |
|
| Feb-28-18 | | Saniyat24: 47...Rde6 is a nice move by Karpov... |
|
| Feb-28-18 | | Saniyat24: Kamsky won, but it was a lot of hard work...! |
|
| May-12-20 | | joddon: A well fought game....to capture that rook in the corner, Kamsky no doubt had to have worked very hard and diligently at calculating numerous lines and positions.....im sure a lot of draws were available, but to work away from Karpovs both rooks took a sweat!! |
