Dec-27-13  Isilimela: So let me be the first! Couldn't Timman have found a slightly more enterprising line vs Scandanavian ? It is an exhibition match and from Karpov's recent games he would have known to expect it.

with an obvious draw.

Dec-27-13  Ulhumbrus: If 6 d5 leads to no more than exchanges an alternative is 6 Nge2 with the idea of Ng3 and f2-f4-f5
Dec-27-13  RookFile: That's the idea: white wants to avoid exchanges. That's the way to make black regret this defense.
Dec-28-13  MarkFinan: If this is an exhibition game, I can live without seeing what they play behind closed doors! The most boring game I've come across on this site. I might start a collection lol
