Karpov was just the new World Champ and was in great streak. He was winning everything that was in front of him like he wanted to proof he was the best. That game was a shock, like "hey, we can beat this guy" and came from Geller, that was not doing well after his match with Fischer. Maybe this game explains whay Karpov did not play many times the French :-) Regards, Miguel
