[[Anatoly Karpov]] lost an endgame with a pawn versus two knights to [[Veselin Topalov]]<ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1295765 Topalov vs. Karpov]</ref> although he had a theoretical draw with a pawn past the Troitsky line; because of its rarity, Karpov seemed not to know the theory of drawing and headed for the wrong corner. (Depending on the position of the pawn, checkmate can be forced only in certain corners.<ref>{{Harvcol|Troitsky|2006}}</ref>) In this "rapid play" [[time control]], the position in the game was initially a draw, but Karpov made a bad move which resulted in a lost position. Topalov later made a bad move, making the position a draw, but Karpov made another bad move, resulting in a lost position again.<ref>[http://www.chesscafe.com/text/mueller37.pdf Müller article]</ref>
