Karpov in front
NZPA-Reuter Moscow The world champion, Anatoly Karpov, has a definite and dangerous advantage after 44 moves in the nineteenth game of his chess title defence against the challenger, Garri Kasparov. The early consensus of grandmaster observers was that Karpov’s over-all superiority should not necessarily have turned into a serious bid for a win. However, sophisticated
manoeuvring with rook and three pawns each has left the challenger with problems. Kasparov’s forty-fourth move went into the adjournment envelope. Karpov leads the series, 4-0, with victory and the world title going to the first to win six games with draws not counting. This means the challenger must get a draw to keep his slender hopes of the championship alive.
