Go up one level in this thread


Fernando,

Congratulations on your performance!  If you get the time, it would be good to
fix your game score.

Anyway, I thought you might like the following quote from Don Schultz' book,
"Chessdon":

"...at another FIDE meeting at Puerto Rico, Anatoly Karpov gave an exhibition at
a shopping center and another trick was played.  Karpov's opponents were young
and played at about D level (Elo 1200) strength.  Unknown to Karpov, one of his
opponents was a ringer; he had a FIDE rating of over 2400--International Master
strength! The trick didn't work.  Karpov never knew there was such a stgrong
player among his opponents; he defeated him as easily as he defeated the level
'D' players."

Cheers,

Walter
