Maybe, Zaitsev's >decisive error occurred only later. Hi Ernst, Didn't think anyone bothered :o). Here's the game as printed in Kotov (not all moves): [Event "Kuibyshev"] [Site "Kuibyshev"] [Date "1970.??.??"] [White "Karpov"] [Black "Zaitsev"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B17"] 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nd7 5. Nf3 Ngf6 6. Nxf6+ Nxf6 7. Ne5 Bf5 8. c3 e6 9. g4! Bg6 10. h4 Bd6 11. Qe2 c5 12. h5 Be4 13. f3 cxd4! 14. Qb5+ Nd7 15. Nxf7! Bg3+ 16. Ke2 d3+ 17. Ke3! Qf6 18. Kxe4 Qxf7 19. Rh3 a6 20. Qg5 h6? 21. Qe3 e5 22. Kxd3 Bf4 23. Qg1 O-O-O 24. Kc2 Bxc1 25. Rxc1! Qxa2 26. Rh2 Rhf8 27. Rd2! Qa4+ 28. Kb1 Qc6 29. Bd3! Kc7 30. Be4 Qb6 31. Qh2 Rde8 32. Rcd1 Nf6 33. Bg6 Re7 34. Re1 Qb5 35. Rde2 Nd7 36. Bf5! Rxf5 37. gxf5 Qd3+ 38. Ka1 Qxf5 39. Qh4! Nf6 40. Qc4+ Kd8 41. Qc5 1-0 As you can see, whites king reaches safety from being in the middle of the board and Karpov attacks the weak e-pawn. Black sacks a piece to no avail. A GM like Karpov should be able to wrap it up after 41. Qh4!. Since I'm not a good chess player I'm not sure if black can save the game later. It's very positional IMO so computers might have problems (?). Kotov gives the following analysis (albeit short) of 20... e5!: 20... e5! 21. Rxg3 Nc5+ 22. Ke3 0-0 23. Rh3 Rad8 24. Bd2 Ne4! 25. Kxe4 Qd5+ 26. Ke3 Qc5+ 27. Ke4 Rd4+ Best wishes... Mogens
