+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
