first challenger? Most pundits chose Spassky, for though his
record as Champion had not been too impressive, his dominant play

Karpov, who advanced to the finals with remarkably mature play. Here he gives a textbook example of exploiting a small positional advantage on the
white side of the Sicilian Defense. |
