I have *never* watched Crafty analyze a game such as this and see tactical mistake after tactical mistake played. Rf3 seemed ok by Karpov. gxf3 was the best reply not giving black those two connected passers, or even dxc5 eschewing the exchange.. later both sides had chances to win and the one making the last mistake was Karpov. I still don't like the faster time controls as the game wears on. This would have been a wonderful game to watch had not time entered in to produce tactical boo-boos...
