This is the wrong way to define personal attack. If you said "x plays like a
deranged muttonhead" would you consider that a personal attack? Or would you
not, because it is just a statement of your opinion? It is no more and no less
personal than your statement about Karpov.

The content of your post is not, IMO, a personal attack. The title _is_ and here
I why: In both your title and your post you state your opinion. But in your
title you also _unnecessarily_ insult Karpov, and that is the personal attack.
