WCC Editing Project: <zanzibar: Since I'm an adviser to editors, rather than an editor, I'm unfamiliar with what exactly editors can do.> I want to bring this post to your attention again: Biographer Bistro (kibitz #10966) It explains what editors can do and what not.

WCC Editing Project: <chessgames.com> Maybe you overlooked this post Biographer Bistro (kibitz #11028) , since the Bistro has become rather fast-paced. An answer would be interesting to several people.

Sep-23-14  Karpova: On Game Collection: WCC: Karpov-Kasparov, 1985

Some information from Victor Davidovich Baturinsky, Das Schachgenie Karpow, transl. by Benita Spielhaus, Berlin, Sportverlag, 1991.

Game 11 - Kasparov vs Karpov, 1985 - ended with a victory for Kasparov after Karpov's crude blunder 22...Rcd8. Baturinsky explains that Karpov got distracted (p. 157): 'Der Spiegel' published an article on 30 September 1985 (1) which claimed that Karpov had made a deal to advertise chess computers already back in 1978 with Jungwirth. This deal netted him an honorary of more than a Million Deutsche Mark. Karpov filed a lawsuit at the Hamburg court of justice and Jungwirth was found guilty. In an interview with 'Der Spiegel' later, Karpov was asked about the time between October 1 and 24, 1985 when he lost 3 games, winning not a single one. He answered that he wouldn't have lost against Kasparov in 1985 without that article.(2)

On p. 159, Baturinsky mentions an interview Kasparov gave 'Sowjetski Sport' after the match, in which Kasparov praised Karpov highly. This differs greatly from what Kasparov would write later in his now infamous 'Child of Change'.

(1) 'Toljas Million' in 'Der Spiegel', 30 September 1985, issue 40, http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print... (The chess computers were produced by Novag in Hong Kong, belonging to Peter Auge. Auge sent the cheque (worth 1,200,000 Deutsche Mark in 1985) to Helmut Jungwirth. So now the question was if Karpov had ever received the money from Jungwirth (and, see below, Jungwirth was found guilty of beguilement in 1988). Karpov claimed he didn't and this was important, because of the exchange control regulations of the Soviet Union. Karpov would have massively violated them in case he had received the money and not told the Soviet Union so. This may explain why the article had such a huge impact on him)

(2) W Harenberg (interviewed Karpov), 'Die Affäre kostete mich den Titel' in 'Der Spiegel, 26 December 1988, issue 52, http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print... (<KARPOW: Ohne den damaligen Bericht im SPIEGEL, also ohne Ihre Hilfe, hätte Kasparow mich 1985 nicht besiegt, wäre er zumindest damals nicht Weltmeister geworden. Insofern weiß ich nicht, ob der SPIEGEL oder ob Kasparow gegen mich gewonnen hat.>)

Partial <Chessical> draft for Game Collection: WCC: Karpov-Kasparov 1984-85.

The draft so far features a detailed account of the suspension of the match.

<Karpova> Thanks for those fascinating details about <Karpov> for the Game Collection: WCC: Karpov-Kasparov, 1985.

It looks like it might be tough to find many sources about <Karpov's> experience of this match. I looked carefully at "Karpov on Karpov" last night, but he doesn't say anything about this match.

<Karpov> does, however, say a few things about some of the later <K-K> matches.

If anyone can help us with sources about how <Karpov> thought/felt about the 1985 match, please post them here?

<OHRA> Thanks Karpova!

Sep-26-14  Paint My Dragon: <WCC> As <Chessical> is now writing up the 1984-5 match, it would be best to take my name off the list, if you would be so kind.

In fairness to the project, although I'd done some background reading, I hadn't started drafting, and may not have got around to it all that soon, due to ongoing home improvements.

But definitely a case of 'too many cooks ...', as I wouldn't want to bin someone's new work, or alternatively, try to write between the lines. So, best wishes to <Chessical> or whoever takes it over.

It's no worries man. Good luck with your revival of the "Home Improvement" American sitcom too:

  Chessical: <Paint my Dragon> I feel somewhat uncomfortable in that it may appear that there has been a land-grab on the Game Collection: WCC: Karpov-Kasparov 1984-85.

Paragraphs I originally wrote as part of the introduction to Game Collection: WCC: Karpov-Kasparov, 1985 have since been transplanted to the earlier match.

I can appreciate why it was done (a large amount of detailed material concerning the earlier match) and have no issue as such with the editorial rationale. I believe, however, that I should make the circumstances clear.
