I just read over game 18 of the world championship, and although I haven't played it out yet, something seems amiss. Two pawns were traded, and then a knight. That's a draw??? It seems to me (naive though I be) that there should be some chances for play for both sides. If I paid to see this game, I'd want my money back! It seems that Karpov, with white, would strive a little longer to try to save a match that is slipping through his fingers. Or has chess become a game where, with reasonable play, a draw is more or less inevetible? derek -- Derek Zahn @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,sfwin,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!derek derek@wisc-rsch.arpa
