Very nice interview with Karpov from 1991, including tales & opinion about Korchnoi & Kasparov. Again footage of the 11th game blunder in 1987. Also: "Boxers hold each other's hand after the match." Karpov laughs: "This I don't understand"😅 (from 11'25"") schatkamer.beeldengeluid.nl/serie/210160...

You could argue that stalemate has made the game of chess more complicated, more difficult to master, and thus more interesting & intriguing as well. Enjoy Solodovnichenko-Fillippov, Bydgoszcz 1999 and Bannik-Ivkov, Rijeka 1963! #ChessSchwindler (continuations in the ALT)

In the 1980's Vereslav Eingorn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veresla... always finished in the top of the USSR championships. Perhaps 1988 was relatively his best achievement considering the very strong field. You can see him analyzing with Karpov after round 8 (3rd photo). Rest in peace. #chess

"The 5th place of Jan Timman must be deemed an outstanding success. Incredibly, he is only 17 years of age & yet he plays already almost with grandmaster strength. Certainly this is the strongest player the Netherlands have produced since Donner, some would say even since Dr. Euwe" #chess
