Which I really don´t think it is the right score either, so... what´s the matter with the scores of these two guys when they play the Benoni? C´mon, they are recent games, what is it that the CIA are refraining us from see? WHERE IS THE TRUTH?

  perfidious: <Everett> Just submitted another go at putting this one right.

Another nice piece of play by Karpov, in which he frustrates a very good GM by staying one step ahead, all the way. In his best days, how did anyone play with the man?
