Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Kamsky varies from an earlier game with Karpov, played at the Melody Amber Rapidplay in Monaco in 1995. In that game, Kamsky tried an immediate 9. e4 and the game continued 9. ... Nxc3 10. Bxc3 cxd4 11. Bxd4 Rc8, and Karpov won after a lengthy struggle. (White's time used 0:02)
