Another chess draw
NZPA-AP Moscow The world chess champion, Anatoly Karpov, and the challenger, Garri Kasparov, ended the twentieth game of their championship contest on the fifteenth move yesterday • after Kasparov, playing white, offered a draw.
The swift ending to the game left untouched Karpov’s 4-0 lead in the series and means the two players have now drawn a record 11 consecutive games. The champion needs only two more wins to retain his title, which will go to the first man to clinch six victories. Draws do not count in championship play.
