Nov-04-03		Chris00nj: Wow nice game by Karpov. He must have been quite young in this game, but he pulls off a early knight sacrifice enroute to a brilliant victory.

Nov-05-03		Chessical: I do not think that this could be a Karpov game at all. (1). Karpov would have only been 9 and unlikely to play correspondence outside of the USSR. Where are any other Karpov correspondence games? (2). His first recorded games I can trace up to now were from Cheliabinsk in 1961. There he actually defended a KGA but played 3...Nf6 (v Shneider). (3).I cannot find any record of him having played in an Argentinian correspondence tournament. (4). Nor can I find any record of a player called "Dimnov" anywhere else. Unless anyone knows better and can provide a source I think this game should be deleted.

Nov-05-03		Kenkaku: Karpov!? Muzio Gambit!? I think Chessical is right...

Apr-16-05		Karpova: I doubt this was played by any karpov. The is no older karpov listed in FIDE's database. Igor karpov was born in 1958 while alexander karpov was born in 1959.

May-11-07		Whitehat1963: Thursday puzzle after 21...Rh8.

May-20-10		Richard Taylor: This isn't THE Karpov - there is also an Al Karpov who is very strong. There is clearly another A Karpov.

May-20-10		Richard Taylor: Good game by A K whoever he was!

Aug-27-11		Phony Benoni: <corres ARG> is another of those misleading site/place that pop up from time to time. I had one of my correspondence games in the database labelled that way. It wasn't an Argentian tournament, and my opponent was from North Tonawanda, New York. But I also seriously doubt that this was <the> Karpov.

Jan-09-13		jonjon9787: i wonder how this game is going to end.. anyone please?

Jan-09-13		Sastre: 29...Kd5 30.c4+ Kxc4 (30...Kxd4 31.R1e4+ Kc5 32.b4#) 31.Rxc6+ Kxd4 32.Qc3#.
