I was reading a newspaper yesterday and was surprised to see that the
first game in the Kasparov/Karpov world championship match had been
played. 

It was a draw, but an interesting draw because Karpov as White used an
ultra-aggressive variation against Kasparov's Sicilian.  If he
continues to play this aggressively, he is going to run into the
tactical bulldozer for which Kasparov is famous.

I don't have the game score handy.  If someone has these games on-line
somewhere, I think members of this list would appreciate seeing them
here.

Although most people I've heard think Karpov will win, I think Kasparov
will unseat Karpov in some smashing attacks.  I want to see the icy
Olympian calm of Karpov disturbed somewhat.
