Such a Brilliant positonal game by 2294 deserves to be memorialized with diagrams i have added only the diagrams to your annotation SBO This is the game, almost complete. 45 second average for each move. Karpov with whites showed a superior grasp of the game, as was expected. Alaxandra was clearly outmanouvred and outwitted. Poor Alexandra rarely search beyond 5 plys in middle game against the 6 or 7 by Karpov.

One of those classical old dedicated units moves, a way to recognize "I do not know what a heck to do..."

I was on the verge of yelling "get the money back!!" [D] 1r2q2k/2p2ppp/p1p1bb2/2P1N3/3PQ3/2B5/PP3PPP/R5K1 w - - 0 1 ........B-d5 This kind of playing hunting the Queen only can be called obsesive and monotonous [D] 1r2q2k/2p2ppp/p1p2b2/2PbN3/3PQ3/2B5/PP3PPP/R5K1 w - - 0 1 Q-f4....B-e7 R-e1.....f7-f6 N-d3....Q-g6! [D] 1r5k/2p1b1pp/p1p2pq1/2Pb4/3P1Q2/2BN4/PP3PPP/4R1K1 w - - 0 1 Best move by Alexandra so far. It compels the demise of the agressive white queen and weaken for all times white squares, but of course all this is too much for the little computer to know. She will never understand what she did and lot less what to do about it. Q-g3.....QxQ pfxQ.....B-f8 N-b4....... [D] 1r3b1k/2p3pp/p1p2p2/2Pb4/1N1P4/2B3P1/PP4PP/4R1K1 w - - 0 1 Here begins the overall campaign of whites pieces against the weakened queen side of Alexandra. This last one will be not capable to cope. .......R-a8 NxB....pxN R-e6....... [D] r4b1k/2p3pp/p3Rp2/2Pp4/3P4/2B3P1/PP4PP/6K1 w - - 0 1 and so on until final anhilation. Alexadra finally lose two pawns, it was invaded in 7ยช file and falled to a mate in around move 50. But t details lacks of any interest. Clearly Karpov is at least one league above Alexandra. This last one, howewer did not play so bad for a 50 bucks computer. Could be worst. Fdo, Great Patzer and King of Trivia
