| May-13-17 | | RookFile: I guess it's ok to castle kingside as black but I always preferred queenside castling in this line. |
|
| May-13-17 | | morfishine: A really great game by Karpov, but sorry folks, he would've lost to Fischer Fischer was just completely burnt out on chess

 | | Breunor: Amazing game by Karpov! He had such a positional sense - sacrifices for positional superiority! |
|
| May-13-17 | | The Kings Domain: Nice uncharacteristic sacrificial attack by Karpov, shows how the man had admirable foresight. Good game. |
|
| May-13-17 | | Saniyat24: Karpov sacrificing a piece is rare, but this one here is beautiful...! |
|
| May-13-17 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: <Saniyat24>--Have you seen this one? Hard to believe that Karpov played it. Timman vs Karpov, 1979 |
|
| May-14-17 | | Saniyat24: yes, <Gregor Samsa Mendel> that game is 20th in my list of saniyat24's favorite games...you can have a look at my favorite games... |
|
| Dec-20-19 | | SpiritedReposte: That e pawn was worth it's weight in gold. What great compensation for the sacrificed material. Not used to seeing karpov play like this. |

| Apr-08-20 | | asiduodiego: This game reminded me of a joke I heard once, but it was about Petrosian, I think. But, the same idea applies. "If Tal sacs a piece against me, perhaps I can win. If Karpov sacs a piece against me, I'm doomed" |

| Apr-08-20 | | ewan14: 17. B x g7 wow ! |
|
| Apr-08-20 | | SChesshevsky: <... wow ! > Wow is right. Karpov certainly saw far in this game. Though I was kind of hoping for an ending like 37. Rh6+ Rxh6 38. Nxh6 Kxh6 39. e8 Rxe8 40. dxe8. |

| Apr-08-20 | | mravikiran: This pun "Doctored Robert" is based on The Beatles song "Doctor Robert". |
|
| Apr-09-20 | | dhotts: Huebner missed a saving move of 24...Nxh5. His move of Nd7 proved to be a fatal mistake. Maybe Karpov's sac was not so solid? Karpov did get a great deal of counter play and a lasting initiative that was too much for Huebner. |
|
| Apr-21-20 | | asiduodiego: <dhotts> Interesting. At first glance, it seems to be a very solid move. Any trades at this point will benefit Black, and now g7 is covered, so there aren't any threatening mate situations. If I had to guess, I think Huebner was worried that if White played Nf5 and Red1, then the rooks may invade the position with disastrous results, so he played immediatly the "prophylactic" move Nd7, to prevent such ideas. Of course, he never imagined that Karpov, after being a Bishop down, would play 25 Rxd7!!, mounting an attack with a full rook down!. And then trading Queens!. Really, this game is a monument to Karpov's genius. |

| Nov-06-20 | | fisayo123: 17. Bxg7!! is a superb blow by Karpov. Huebner is unable to find a consolidating defense. Maybe he could have tried the more safe 17....Nxf2 18.Qc3 Re8 19.Kc2 Bg5! 20.dxe6 Nxd1 21.Rxd1 , with good counterplay. After 17...Kxg7, he has to walk a tight trope and cannot find the best defense. Karpov's second piece sacrifice is a positional one. 25. Rxd7!! is a fantastic , fully justifiable exchange sac. The knight is simply too strong and is untouchable on f5, covering vital squares. The final position is something to behold. |
