For those of you who missed it, Robrt Byrne reported in the NYT that Kasparov missed an easy combination in game 16 that would almost certainly have won. He had sac'd a rook for knight and pawn, and passed up a chance (at move 30 I think) to fork Karpov`s R because he "saw" that Karpov, by pinning, would retain material; but he missed an intermdeiate check that wins the exchange in all variations, resulting in a won endgame with a pawn advantage. - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) allegra!eosp1!robison or: decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison or (emergency): princeton!eosp1!robison
