Up until this move, these moves have all been seen before, most notably in Game 3 of this match. In that game, Karpov played Re1. The move played (13. Bb2) is probably an improvement, since it is better deployed at that square than at c3. It is not quite as clear where Karpov's King's Rook should be placed, so this move order which retains more flexibility seems more precise. (White's time used 0:17) |
