You are absolutely right about Karpov who can't play computers. A few
years ago a kind of Rebel Decade 2.0 version played two 30/all games
against Karpov on a poor Pentium-200. Two draws. And in the last game
Karpov was rescued by the organizers offering him a draw in a bad
position while having very little time on his clock too. The 2 games
are somewhere on my pages for those who are interested.
