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. Stuart
