karpov is a billionaire.  if people are silly enough to pay to play a top player and beg for a draw, it's their dime and karpov's saved time.

You were winning. This person offered a draw because of bad sportsmanship. If you didn't know you were winning, you "might've accepted." There are multiple threads about these annoying people.

And his stamp collection. Not kidding!

In USSR you could not earn money, but Karpov requested to receive stamps for his world-class chess efforts. As chess being the nation's pride they agreed. After 1989 those were worth a lot ;)

I also played with world champion WC GMJhimpu, he was loosing and asked me to resign to save his image. I called Magnus Carlsen and asked " Should I defeat the person who snatched your world championship title from vishy?" Magnus replied...... story is too long i can't tell here.

Well, GM Gareev offered me a draw and I accepted it. And he's not a fake GM if anyone doesn't know this. Wink

I have never seen or heard of such a crazy GM. Is GM his nick or title?

GM or not only accept the draw if you're losing or it's a drawn position.

Anyway after Kh2, Rxh5# or am I going mad?
