Anatoly Karpov gave up too easily. But it's understandible considering
his opponent...Judit Polgar. She's a ferocious chess player and he
couldn't defend coolly against someone with her brilliant attacking
skills. But if Karpov had the silicon brain like Junior 8, the end
result would have been a spectacular defeat for Judit Polgar. Take a
look at this. I set up the same position as described in the Chessbase
article listed in its news section and decided to "punish" Junior 8 with
Judit's copy of the famous Lasker "greek gift" sacrifice. Look at what
happened to me.

You are not Judith Polgar. Begiing with Bxh7, it's amate-in-8 and my
Dell Axim running Chess Genius 1.5 solves the mate-in-8 in 8 seconds.

After 3...Kxg7, try 4.Qg5+ instead of 4.Rg3?

Thanks. Your suggestion did it. I was able to mate the Black king
quickly after that. But you see, I didn't use the analysis feature when
I set up this position. I didn't sneak a peek at the computer analysis.
I played faulty chess, but then again, it's possible to lose your way in
a match unless you are as someone said "a Judith Polgar".
