      "But how shall I find the answer?" asked Grasshopper.
      "That is simple.  Do not seek it." replied Master Po.

robison@eosp1.UUCP (Tobias D. Robison) (10/25/84)

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.
