  Honza Cervenka: Excellent play of Beliavsky!
Jun-02-04  AdrianP: Dennis Monokroussos mentioned this game as an example of how things can go wrong playing for a queen-side minority attack in a Carlsbad-type position, namely you might get brutalised on the K-side. There are some nice crisp tactics at the end.
Jan-07-06  KingG: Pretty impressive to beat Karpov on the Black side of this variation. Karpov's score against everyone else is unbelievable.
Jan-07-06  Koster: Karpov really had a bad day tactically. One of Beliavsky's best tournaments, maybe the best?

  keypusher: As far as I know, this game marked the first time Karpov lost to a Soviet player in an international tournament since Korchnoi at Hastings in 1971.
Jan-16-07  sucaba: Well, he lost twice in the tourney on occasion of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution: Karpov vs Taimanov, 1977 and Karpov vs Beliavsky, 1977.

On cherchait une consolation dans le gambit dame variation d'echange, une promesse d'une attaque ou au moins d'une victoire. Voici, on voit comment les noirs peuvent attaquer rapidement s'ils ont le courage a laisser tomber le cote de la dame, quelque chose qu'il faudrait retenir. Puis, on voit comment les pieces peuvent trouver beaucoup d'activite avec les colonnes ouvertes, etc.
