Karpov vs. Fischer

     I recently received an email from the Dutch player Wijnand Engelkes describing an interesting project he has been working on called Hidden Games.    
     Fischer - Karpov 1975 would possibly have been one of the greatest World Championship matches of all time, but it never took place. What would have happened if those two had played each other? That’s something the projects speculates upon. 
     He has selected 25 of top players in history, made databases of their games and then combined the games of players who never played each other to see what might have happened had they actually met. For an example, compare Karpov vs Bellon (Madrid, 1983) where Karpov copied the moves of Saidy vs Fischer (New York, 1968). 
     Mr.Engelkes is looking for other people to help him to find more of these games and if you are interested in helping out you may contact him direct;. His email address is: engelkes@xs4all.nl A game that I liked (Fritz 17)
