Maxwell843: why doesn't white play 16. Bxf6 forcing black to play 16...gxf6 opening up black's kingside? I guess black would just castle queenside...? |

Apr-20-07 Anand vs Karpov, 1998 
|
Maxwell843: Why did Karpov play 28...Qd8?
If he had played say 28...Qg7 then 29. Nxh8 Bxf3 and if Anand's Knight escapes capure then so does Karpov's bishop.
Is this correct? |
