-1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5
-{
-Welcome to game 13 and the GI---that's Grunfeld-Indian. Fight from
-the start.
-}
-4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3 Bg7 7. Be3 c5 8. Qd2 O-O
-{
-So far on two minutes each. GK.. Garry Kasparov looks tensed, says
-Mike Valvo. Now Karpov took full 9 minutes to play ...
-}
-9. Rc1 Qa5
-{
-Kasparov thought six minutes here. Time now: White 0:19 Black: 0:08.
-Now 9 minutes has gone and AK is still thinking. Kasparov has left the
-stage. Who is fooling who? 9..Qa5 might be a new move. It's not in the
-pressroom database. Karpov is still thinking, so time for a little
-presentation. At your service in Lyon IM Bjarke Kristensen (Now Valvo:
-AK is nodding his head up and down alone on stage.) As commentators:
-Boris Spassky and a number of strong french IM's. IM Mike Valvo from
-New Jersey is here for a week.
-}
-10. Nf3 e6
-{
-And the "soon-to-be" GM Will Watson from England is here too. "I
-don't understand the GI" he just said. Kasparov stays on stage. Time:
-White: 0:37 Black: 0:10. Says Will Watson (now WW): "I predicted the
-opening this morning. And so did many others." Valvo: "I think this
-shows that the Kings Indian hasn't worked out for Kasparov". IM Levy
-suggests b7-b6 for Black. IM Jonathan Tisdall says: "I've seen this
-before. But nobody can find a game with it."
-}
-11. d5 exd5 12. exd5 Re8 13. Be2
-{
-Time: White: 0:53 Black: 0:24. Valvo observed GK tapping his fingers
-impatiently on the table after move Re8. It just might all be
-preparations! Both are sitting deeply concentrated at the table.
-}
-13... Bf5 14. O-O
-{
-The atmosphere in the pressroom is a bit "fuzzy." The game hasn't
-found its own personality yet, and the fact that the US plays the
-Soviets at the Chess Olympiad in Novi Sad at this very moment is also
-widely discussed.
-}
-14... Nd7
-{
-Interesting is now: 15.Nh4 Be4 16.f3 Bxd5! 17.Qxd5 Rxe3 18.Qxd7
-18...Rxe2 with a big Black plus. say Watson. Rumours say that GK might
-be better here, but nobody really dares to risk his neck. The game is
-still in its childhood. But AK surely is in for a deep think. Now he's
-on 1:16 and still thinking. Garry has left the stage. Valvo say: The
-Mephisto computer thinks Black is better! It's no "Deep Thought", but
-the Mephisto Chess Computer IS already world champion in its class. No
-one else dared to test their program against it!
-}
-15. h3
-{
-Time: White: 1:18 Black: 0:31. Now Karpov has left stage. And GK hangs
-over the board as if to power up his chessmuscles. Kasparov seems
-relaxed and satisfied. White's problem is his weakened pawns on the
-Q-side. And as for his pride-pawn on d5? In an endgame it could be
-pure gold, but until then it gives a good square to a Black piece on
-d6. Kasparov now "hangs" his head between his hands. A very typical
-posture for the WC.
-}
-15... Nb6
-{
-GM Lein thinks White is in deep trouble. GK might play Nb6-a4.
-Another of GK's ideas might be Qa5-a4.
-}
-16. g4
-{
-Now ...that's a man! Karpov's idea obviously is 16... Be4 17.c4 Qxd2
-18.Nxd2 with 19.Nxe4 and 20.Bd3 to come. After a very slow start
-suddenly the game is very exciting. Now the Russians GMs in the
-pressroom find: 16...Be4 17.c4.. Qa3! with a Black edge. But...
-}
-16... Bd7
-{
-Time: AK: 1:31 GK: 0:49. GM-elects Watson and Gallagher say Karpov is
-still under pressure, but improving. Mephisto "thinks" it's slightly
-better for Black. And the Russians say that Kasparov should have
-played h7-h5, not Nd7-b6.
-}
-17. c4 Qxd2 18. Nxd2 Na4 19. Bf3 Nc3 20. Rxc3 Bxc3 21. Ne4
-{
-The heat is on, in the Palais des Congress. Watson thinks GK is still
-doing well. Might be a British understatement. Kasparov is in for at
-deep think. Time: White: 1:42 Black: 1:12 IM Tisdall: He'll take on e4
-now, and it is a draw.
-}
-21... Rxe4 22. Bxe4 Re8 23. Bd3 b6 24. Kg2
-{
-Tisdall says: The first one who can bring himself to offer a draw will
-get it. He might be right. A drastic change of the game has taken
-place. And where did Kasparov drop his advantage? Maybe ...Nc3 should
-have been prepared. Time: White: 1:46 Black: 1:17. If Karpov plays
-Be3-c1 to press f2-f4 (hoping for an endgame advantage with f4-f5) GK
-might play Re8-e1 to enter a tame double-bishop ending. Draw.
-}
-24... f5 25. gxf5 Bxf5 26. Bxf5 gxf5
-{
-Karpov sits thinking alone at the board. Black's Bc3 is potentially
-weaker than Be3, but White's c4 pawn is GK's major target. I think
-that Black's still better. White's d-pawn looks strong (and it is) but
-right now it's quite impotent. If advanced it'll just be lost, since
-Kg8 is too close.
-}
-27. Rd1 Kf7
-{
-Time: White: 2:07 Black: 1:28. Now Kasparov's lead on the clock begins
-to count. Karpov must be considering lines like: 28.d6 Ke6 29.Bf4 Be5
-30.Bxe5 Kxe5 31.Rd5+ Ke6 32.d7 Rd8 and Black is much better.
-}
-28. Rd3 Bf6 29. Ra3 a5 30. Rb3
-{
-Time: White: 2:12 Black: 1:31. It might look simple, but in fact the
-game is balanced on an edge. Which is most important: Black's weakness
-on b6 or White's on c4?
-}
-30... Bd8
-{
-People in the pressroom seems to be losing interest a bit. I think
-that a long endgame battle may be ahead. The fight for the initiative
-is still very much on. Now Watson arrived with news. He said: "The
-Russians think GK is slightly better, the Americans think AK is
-slightly better, and it might be a draw."
-}
-31. Rc3
-{
-Both are leaning across the board. If Karpov can get his king to d3,
-he might play on forever. Kasparov seems "speculative" now. One point
-in Karpov's favour is: 31...Bc7 32.Kf3 Re4 33.Ke2 f4 34.Kd3 and Re4
-has to move.
-}
-31... Bc7
-{
-Karpov is hiding his head behind his hands, looking through his
-fingers. Nine minutes left.
-}
-32. a4 Kf6 33. Kf1 f4
-{
-33...f4! GK played this with determination. I don't understand
-Karpov's Kg2-f1.
-}
-34. Bc1 Kf5 35. Rc2 Rg8 36. Re2 Be5 37. Bb2 Bd4 38. Bxd4 cxd4 39. Re7 d3
-40. Ke1 Rc8 41. Kd2 Rxc4
-{
-Kasparov has moved from c8 to c4. Move 41 made. The last seven moves
-took only 11 minutes Now all analysis goes: 42.Kxd3 Rxa4 43.d6 Ra3+
-44.Kc4 Ra1 45. Kd5 Rd1+ 46.Kc6 a4 and White might be the one who in
-trouble. Both still sits at the board. GK is looking everywhere else,
-waiting for Karpov to decide on if he wants to seal his move now. Some
-say that Kasparov might have proposed a draw earlier on. Not
-verified. Time: 2:42 - 2:08. Karpov sealed his 42nd move. The game
-will be continued (maybe) tomorrow at 11:00 AM ET.

-{Draw agreed} 1/2-1/2
