Apologies for the "retarded algebraic" notation used in the score of the
game. This was back in the early days of Hitech when we were only working
on things that made a difference. The game was played as part of a two
game exhibition match. It was played on the day that the GM tournament
started and GM John Fedorowicz was quoted in the press as saying that
Karpov could not have played the white pieces as well. Of particular note
is 10. Nfd4!! which is a major improvement (on the fly) over the book Nbd4.
Yes, this is the wrong knight, but it allows the queen to participate in
a very meaningful attack on the king, which playing Nbd4 does not.
The combination started with 18. B:g6! is correct and winning. After
20. Qe5!! White wins at least a pawn. The attempt to avoid this by
20.--Qf7 runs into the queen sac 21. Q:e7! after which everything becomes
very easy.
