Tournament: World Championship Round: Opening: Submitted by: Published on: February 9, 2020 [Event "World Championship"] [Site "?"] [Date "1985.??.??"] [Round "11"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Karpov"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "55"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 O-O 5.Bg5 c5 6.e3 cxd4 7.exd4 h6 8.Bh4 d5 {Black finally stakes a claim in the center of the board. This is typical of hypermodern strategy, where central action is delayed for some time, but in this case the resulting position has quite a classical flavor.} 9.Rc1 dxc4 10.Bxc4 {Accepting an isolated d-pawn indicates that White is looking for a complex middlegame with attacking chances. There are many different strategies available to White, while Black tries to blockade the d5-square.} Nc6 11.O-O Be7 {The bishop no longer serves any useful function at b4 so it retreats to e7 where it breaks the pin.} 12.Re1 b6 13.a3 Bb7 14.Bg3 Rc8 {Black threatens a discovered attack against the bishop at c4.} 15.Ba2 {White retreats the bishop but now Black can take over the initiative.} Bd6 {Now I should have moved the bishop to e5, maintaining my attacking chances.} 16.d5 {This is a premature resolution of the tension in the center. 16.Be5! Bxe5 17.dxe5 Nd7 18.Bb1 There are still chances here to develop a successful kingside attack.} Nxd5 17.Nxd5 Bxg3 18.hxg3 exd5 19.Bxd5 Qf6 20.Qa4 Rfd8 21.Rcd1 Rd7 {21...Qxb2? 22.Bxc6 Rxd1 23.Bxb7 White wins material.} 22.Qg4 Rcd8 {A costly oversight. Take a moment to try to find my next move. It isn't all that easy, but Karpov really should have seen it coming.} 23.Qxd7 {The attack plays itself.} Rxd7 24.Re8+ Kh7 25.Be4+ {Karpov resigned, since he was about to lose more material.} g6 26.Rxd7 Ba6 27.Bxc6 Qxc6 28.Rxf7# 1-0 [Event "World Championship"] [Site "?"] [Date "1985.??.??"] [Round "11"] [White "Kasparov"] [Black "Karpov"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "55"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 O-O 5.Bg5 c5 6.e3 cxd4 7.exd4 h6 8.Bh4 d5 {Black finally stakes a claim in the center of the board.
