I heard from a friend yesterday that Kasparov won the 47th game with the Black pieces! I have yet to see the game score, but my friend heard it from a reliable source. Where are our usually prompt game score posters? This makes the score now Karpov-5 Kasparov-2, and perhaps there is hope for a comeback! Korchnoi was down to Karpov 5-2 in the 1978 match and won 3 in a row only to lose the match the very next game. Let's hope that Garry doesn't suffer a letdown and plays the rest of the match like he CAN play chess. ----- Bruce Kovalsky ..!trwrb!trwspp!spp2!kovalsky

I doubt if it matters. Garry is half Jewish as such the Soviet system won't allow him a chance in any case. ps. You any good. I haven't played for a few years but my rating last time I checked was around 2040. If your over 2000 how about a game. Unfortunately my chess style is very dry, boring etc. Game one white c4 game two black c6 to any move except e4 if e4 then c5. Murray
