Karpov vs Beliavsky, 1981

Jul-07-14  Howard: This game was a "Game of the Month" in the late Gligoric's monthly column in Chess Life, back in 1981.
Mar-20-15  xeneizexxx: According to Tibor Károlyi it was 17.h3 (not 17.b3): <17.h3! This clever move not only creates a potentially useful escape square for the white King, but more importantly forces the enemy bishop to choose between two diagonals <"Karpov's strategic wins I: 1961 - 1985 The Making of a Champion" (p.314)>> Which he did with 17...Be6

  woldsmandriffield: If Karpov truly played 17 b3 then 22..Rxe6 was a much better capture. Beliavsky’s 29..Qe7 was very soft and he should have gone for counterplay with 29..Qc2.
