May-01-18 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)
| |
| AgentX: Karpov would win easily. This was Fischer of '75, not '72 (who was also not better than Karpov prime btw) . Karpov Prime is at least = Fischer Prime. Period. P.S.- Kaspy and Carlsen Prime > Everyone |

Mar-26-18 Karpov vs Polugaevsky, 1974
| |
| AgentX: Well, it seems like some people here deliberately choose to ignore Karpov's better games and focus on his bad games. |

Mar-09-18 Capablanca vs Tartakower, 1924
| |
| AgentX: This endgame is brilliant. My #3 on greatest endgames ever played. The excellent coordination of rook and bishop, and then the final part with Bxf5 and the king penetration. It was also very rich to analyze, after 36...a6 only 37.Kh5! b5 38. Kg6 bxa4! 39.Kxf5 a3 40.Rh6!! wins. That's |

Mar-03-18 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984
| |
| AgentX: After deep analysis, and consulting the Endgame Manual, I think 55.Nh5 wins, following 55...Bxf3 56.Nxf6-Be4+ 57.Kg5-Bd3 and now 58.Ng4!!. The simple idea is to bring the knight over to the queenside (the c5-square), trying to win a6, and when the bishop is stuck defending the pawn ... |

Feb-24-18 Aronian vs Navara, 2017
| |
| AgentX: There were too many wins for it to be a valid puzzle. And Qc7 didn't defend, 18...Nd7 or 20...d3 comes closest to defend. Personally, I feel like 16...d4 and 18...f6 really led to this crushing loss. |
