{Game scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. NY = 23:30 London = 00:30 Paris/Berlin

19.c5 looked okay, Black has some problems  (Breder) Time: 23:00 - 12:46} 19...
Bg6 {
Alterman was predicting this. Breder: opens the f5 square for the black queen.}
20. c5 {The threat is Bb5. Kasparov is looking for maximum complication in
Karpov's time trouble. Times: 17:56 - 8:29. Breder: Karpov maybe fears Ba6 
followed by cxb6 and Rc7 after the logical move Ne7} 20... Ne7 {This move was
predicted by Fritz. GM Boris Alterman on chess.fm laughed at the idea and said
it was a typical wierd computer move.} 21. Ba6 Rcd8 {Mig: Some players might
be tempted to play cautiously after having won the first game, but not in a
Kasparov-Karpov  matchup.} 22. Bg5 {Mig: Garry is always thinking about his
career score against  Karpov. But Tolya is no victim. He has had a lot of
success in  rapid chess this year.} 22... Qc6 {Mig: Taking now with cxb6 will
leave Black's queenside pawn  structure in a mess, with weak a and c-pawns.}
23. cxb6 Qxb6 24. Bxf6 gxf6 {
Mig: Karpov takes on f6 with the pawn to keep the white knight  out of e5} 25.
Qa4 c6 {Mig: A good example of how having your queen out in traffic  against
can hurt you.} 26. Bf1 {Mig: Kasparov gets his bishop out of the way of his
major  pieces and prepares to go to work on those juicy queenside  pawns.}
26... Kf8 {Karpov looks very nervous, Kasparov very confident. Times: 5:47 - 2:
31. Mig: Maybe Fritz can't see a way for white to win  more material, but
black's position is completely miserable. It will need some old Karpov
defensive magic to hold on here.} 27. Re3 Rb8 {Times: 4:02 - 2:14} 28. g3 Red8
29. Bg2 {Mig: Black's only hope is to liquidate his  queenside pawns and try
to reach an endgame a pawn down with  some drawing chances. But it's looking
more like Garry's going to  knock him into the FIFTH dimension!} 29... Nf5 {

38. Rd2 Nd6 39. Qc5 Qa6 40. Nh4 Rc8 41. Qd5 Rc1 42. Rb2 Be4 {Brilliant countera
ttacking shot from Karpov. Fitting because they are near the famous 42nd St.
and Broadway in Times Square here in New York!} 43. Qxe4 ({Kasparov gave up
the queen because he saw that he might end up getting mated  after} 43. Bxe4
Qf1 {However, White can defend:} 44. Nf5+ Nxf5 45. h4 {And this position is
NOT where you want to be with a few seconds  on your clock. Fritz might see a
way out of the mates, but facing a rook and queen battery with a knight
wandering around is not a good way to lead a long, healthy  life.}) 43... Nxe4
