Adjournment SHOULD have produced a win for black in the following position, but it did not. Karpov - Miklayev 4bq1k\8\3p1p2\1p1PnN1p\1Pp1PQ1P\2P5\r7\3B1RK1 White adjourned with 43. Ng3 The game continued 43...Qg7 44 Qxf6 Qxf6 45 Rxf6 Ra1 46 Rf1 Rc1 47 Ne2 with the knight heading towards the f5 square (Nd4, Nf5) and white eventually won the game. Instead black could have played 43...Ra3 if 44 Qd2 Qg7 if 44 Qxf6 Qxf6 45 Rxf6 Bd7 The continuation is rather complex, but it is supposedly forcing and calculated by Geller and Furman. As it turns out, white has to force a draw by move 55, otherwise, he loses. KarinsDad :)
