Aug-18-07  Jim Bartle: Whoa! Karpov doesn't take a rook for free on move 38.

Apparently Karpov said he saw he could take the rook, but he had so little time he had to make short moves! Now that is time pressure, I'd say.

  Fusilli: <Jim Bartle> Yes, Soltis writes about it in the last issue of Chess Life. Karpov had two seconds for three moves (before time increments). He said he did not overlook Qxa7, but being a long move, he opted for the short Qd3+. He was probably right... Keep in mind that there is always a risk when you take a piece... the risk of knocking something, in which case your opponent has the right to hit the clock for you to fix things on your own time. Long moves risk knocking pieces more than short moves. Karpov opted for safety.
