In a crazy game Vishy Anand drew the WC-match versus Karpov level, just some minutes ago. It was a Ruy Lopez, in which Karpov used the unusual 5 ... Bc5!? After a strong sac of the exchange Karpov managed to get the upper hand with two strong passed pawns. In the timescramble that followed my Rebel 9 scored +1.50 around move 33,34, in favour of Karpov. But he made a mistake, after which Rebel showed +1.40, now in favour of Anand! In timepressure fantastic things happened: Karpov got two Black pawns on c2 and d2, captured a rook on c1 making a new queen, but nevertheless could not escape a forced mate! A really astonishing game. So the score is 1-1, it's anybody's match again! Best regards, Jeroen Noomen
