Sep-12-03  refutor: wow! big time blunder for karpov, even under blindfold conditions...
Jul-03-07  sanyas: Always carefully examine your opponent's last move - even if, as here, you can't actually see the move...
Jul-03-07  sanyas: Of course, 19...gxf6 (19...♖xf6) and 20...♖fe8 (20...♖f7) were what ruined things for Black. After 21. ♖g1, 21...♔f7 loses to 22.♗xc6 bxc6 23.♖g7+ ♔f8 24.♔e2 ♖d2+ 25.♔f3, and 21...♔h8 to 22.♗g7+ ♔g8 (22...♔xg7 23.♗xc6+ picks up an exchange as well) 23.♗f3.

  Troller: Zoltan Almasi was once the #1 junior in the world, current #3 Hungarian player I guess, he's pretty strong.

Anyway, this is blindfold rapid play, pure show.
