Karpov was penalized with five minutes on his clock for an incorrect draw claim (those were the rules at that time). He could have lost on time, but fortunately for him he had more than five minutes left (the game ended in a draw anyway). I read this story many years ago in NIC. I think it is posible to find this game by searching for all the draws between Karpov and Miles from 1980 to 1989. José.
