Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Karpov favors this flexible developing move. Another good choice here is the classical 1. ... d5, controlling the center with a pawn. Both choices control the e4-square, preventing White from playing 2. e4 and dominating the center.

Karpov was two minutes late arriving for today's game...perhaps he was catching up on his sleep after holding a miracle draw in Game Thirteen.
