Oct-31-07 Karpov vs Timman, 1979 
| |
| chesed: I was very young when I first saw this game in Chessmaster. It was a 'Rate my play'. (guessing Karpov's next move) Haha it even described Karpov's style of play as a 'boa-constrictor approach'. (I was like so coool!) Karpov won this game without a fight. That's just amazing. From ... |

Nov-15-06 A Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927
| |
| chesed: Yeah. This game is not credible. Systemsson played like a kid, whoever he is. Overprotection must not come alone though. It's a good strategy but I think Nimzo put too much effort for that in this game. If Black played accurately, there's no way White could have won after "achieving ... |

Jul-04-05 Gelfand vs Karpov, 1994
| |
| chesed: Aaah! Simply Karpov! This game is my favorite! I just love the defensive maneuvers. Yes, the bishop really did play a very important role throughout the game. Karpov defeats Gelfand with deadly precision. |

Jul-01-05 Ljubojevic vs Karpov, 1988
| |
| chesed: I don't think 17 Nh5 was good. What did Ljubojevic want to do? And then give Karpov a pair of doubled pawns after 20 Bc3 Bxc3? It's enough for him as his weakness! But anyway, I don't think Ljubojevic had a choice there after Nh5. Bacause c3 blocks his forces -keeps the bishop and ... |

Jul-01-05 Nunn vs Karpov, 1985
| |
| chesed: Does Karpov ever play the Marshall so that Nunn tried 8 a4 in stead of c3? 28 ...Qc7. Karpov clearly wants to win the pawn. And Nunn did nothing but move about in the kingside. I couldn't see what Nunn was doing on the kingside! See how Karpov ignored everything going on over there? ... |

Jul-01-05 Karpov vs Ljubojevic, 1979
| |
chesed: One of my kind of games! Karpov is a real master in patience here. See how long the game took? But at last, Ljubojevic made the blunder: 56 ..Nc7 where after 57 Bb2+ is  . Karpov's always prepared for long games where he gets ... |

Dec-20-04 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984
| |
| chesed: Can anyone give me a solution if White had played 76.Kd2 rather than 76. Kf3-of course this move loses. How can Black win after 76. Kd2? |

| |
| chesed: 26. ...Nd4 is a good move.
Karpov probably had calculated that he was guaranteed to have an extra pawn. |
