Sixteenth game drawn in chess
NZPA-Reuter Moscow The sixteenth game of the world chess championship between Anatoly Karpov and the challenger, Garri Kasparov, ended in a draw yesterday after an exciting turn of fate. In the final position Karpov, had the material advantage of rook against knight and pawn, but both queens were still on the board and Karpov’s exposed king made him exercise caution. The draw came after Kasparov, playing white, had made his. thirty-seventh
move. The result left unchanged Karpov’s 4-0 lead in the contest. The champion needs only two more wins to retain his title. Draws do not count in the championship contest. Yesterday’s game opened with a variation of the queen’s Indian defence and experts said Kasparov acquired a strong attacking position in the game, However, Karpov manoeuvred well in defence to claw back to a better position and Kasparov missed a probable chance to win at move 30, according to experts. 5 ■
