Anatoly Karpov
Karpov vs Quinteros Leningrad 1973 Interzonal
Move: Rxd5!
00:00:01 4.14 0.16 1.Rxd5 exd5 2.Nf5 Qd8 3.Qg4 g6 4.Nxh6+
Kh8
00:00:02 5.00 0.16 1.Rxd5 exd5 2.Nf5 Qd8 3.Qg4 g6 4.Nxh6+
Kh8
00:00:05 6.00 0.28 1.Rxd5 exd5 2.Nf5 Qd8 3.Qg4+ g6
4.Nxh6+ Kh8 5.Qf3 f6 6.Qxd5
The Karpov Style sees this move at ply 4 in 6 seconds on a P-133 laptop.
Normal Rebel 10.5 will not play this move after any reasonable period
of time, preferring Nf5 exf5 Rxd5. This trades away the valuable Knight
that should have helped pry open Black's kingside defensive structure.
The idea behind Rxd5 is to let the white Knight jump to f5 to initiate
an attack on the Black King.
Karpov vs Polugaevsky Moscow 1974 Candidates Match Game 6
Move: Qg3!
00:00:21 7.06 0.39 1.Qg3 Qc3 2.Qxc3 Bxc3 3.Rf3 Bf6
4.Rb3 Nc6 5.Rd5
00:00:48 8.00 0.39 1.Qg3 Qc3 2.Qxc3
00:02:09 8.34 0.45 1.Qe1 Bc3 2.Qg3 Rd7 3.Rc1 Na2 4.Rc2
Rfd8 5.Rxa2
00:03:03 9.00 0.61 1.Qe1 Bc3 2.Qg3 Nc2 3.Rf2 Nd4 4.Rc1
White's *threat* of e5 is stronger than actually
making the move e5. Rebel 10.5 default personality
will quickly select Qg3! only to change to e5 in the
6th ply, not returning to Qg3 in any reasonable length
of time on a P-133, even as far as the 9th ply, it
still prefers e5.
The Karpov personality will play Qg3! on ply 7 (preferring
e5 until then) and it keeps Qg3! as its move from there on.
On a P-133, it takes Rebel 10.5 [Karpov personality] 2 minutes
and 21 seconds to see that Qg3 is best.
These types of subtle moves are what mark Karpov's play.
He consistently improves his position by moves that show
extraordinary positional understanding. Unfortunately, on
the next move (after Qc3 by Black), Rebel 10.5 (Karpov
Personality or Default) fails to see that the white Queen is
needed for the attack and they both prefer to play e5,
allowing Qxg3 by Black. There is always room for improvement!
Spassky vs Karpov
Move: e4!
00:01:30 13.00 0.82 1..Rd8 2.bxa5 bxa5 3.Rf3 Rxd6 4.Rf5
Rd3+ 5.Kf2 Rd2+ 6.Kf3 Rd5 7.Ke3
Rd4 8.Rxg5 Rxa4
00:01:41 13.01 0.95 1..axb4 2.d7 Rd8 3.Rb3 Kxd7 4.Rxb4
00:01:58 13.02 0.96 1..e4 2.d7 Rd8 3.Rd4 Ke5 4.Rd2 axb4
5.Kf2 Kf4 6.Ke2 Kxg4 7.Ke3 b3 8.Kxe4
This is a zwischenzug and it wins for Black. According to Karpov,
axb4 leads to a draw.
Rebel 10.5 [Karpov Personality] initially selects e4! then changes
to axb4 on the 9th ply [18 seconds on a P-133 laptop], then returns
to e4! after 11 ply [2 minutes and 34 seconds on a P-133] with a
score of 1.02 for Black.
Rebel 10.5 [Default personality] prefers axb4 from the 8th ply on,
even sticking to axb4 on the 12th ply.
