  chancho: How Kramnik can beat Judit like a drum (given her talent) is a mystery to me.
Feb-11-09  Karpova: That's strange indeed. Possibly, you'd have to be a Super GM yourself and study their games (not only the games they played against each other) to come to at least a few conclusions. One of the most drastic cases is probably the way Karpov beat Spassky.
Nov-11-09  M.D. Wilson: Karpov's record against Spassky is excellent. Spassky claimed that Karpov was the toughest player he ever faced. Remember, Spassky played some of the toughest players in history, players like Botvinnik, Keres, Geller, Fischer and Petrosian, so when Karpov said the young Karpov was tough to play, that's really saying something!

Kramnik's record against Polgar is even more impressive, although I don't think it's all together too shocking, although you'd have thought the dashing Polgar would have scrapped home a few wins against the Ice Man. The contrast of styles and the sporting element make chess something more than an execise in cold logic.

Sep-20-17  outplayer: According to silicone monster Judit has made 3 consecutive mistakes from move 29 to move 31. And she's made 2 consecutive blunders from move 32 to move 33. At move move 32 she should have played 32..Ne7 instead of opening that dangerous diagonal. And at move 33 she could have played 33...Kf8 or 33...Rc8 to reduce the danger.
