Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Karjakin is very talented.
It really sucks to see a crushing advantage turn to a loss like this, topalov’s game 2 at elista etc. Yeah its part of chess but when you have a beautiful game with a huge blunder – its like seeing the finest painting on earth with a huge paint smear because the artist spilled paint on it.
This is why computers will always end up on top of humans – they don’t blunder.
This blunder reminds me of Ribli-Spassky (montpellier, 1985), where Spassky sacrificed his Queen to get a draw. In this game the blunder was even worse, but it also shows how thin a line separates a full point from a loss.
Concerning computers:

Said who computers don’t blunder?
I think one of the greatest chess games ever played was from the recent World Championship Match Game 2 where Topalov played a brilliant game and then missed the win along with every human GM and ended up losing!
Susan,
Once somebody asked whether you could also write down the position, so whoever looks at once of these chess situations, could insert it to a chess computer program to analyse it, or just look at it later, after logging off from here. You asked, how to do this.
I don’t know whether you ever got a simple response, but here is one, in case if you didn’t.
In Deep Fritz 8 under Edit (I assume that most such programs have the same feature), there is
Copy Position
If you choose Copy position (the chess problem of course has to be set up), you can paste that into any standard text you are writing, simply pressing CTRL-V. And the position will appear in FEN format, such as
r3n1k1/4qpb1/1np1b1p1/1p2R1P1/p4p2/1P2P2Q/PBP5/1K5R w – – 0 1
That’s all. Of course, before you choose Copy position, the given chess situation must be already set up in the computer program.
