{Kasparov gewann die inoffizielle Turnierweltmeisterschaft in Linares 1993
genauso souverän wie im Jahr zuvor. Die Partie der Rivalen Kasparov und Karpov
geht als 162. in die Statistik ein (von nun 165 insgesamt) und zeichnet sich
durch zwei Besonderheiten aus: a) Karpov verliert so katastrophal wie selten
zuvor und das auch noch mit den weißen Steinen. b) es gibt einen kleinen
Zwischenfall - siehe Kommentar beim 24. Zug von Schwarz.} 1. d4 {Anand,V} Nf6
