offramp: <Resignation Trap: Actually, this game ended with 15. Bf4 1/2 - 1/2.>It is slightly worse than that: with colours reversed the players had played the first <13 moves> two weeks earlier, in game 13:
Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984.
An erudite spectator, clutching his hard-earned 75 stotinki ticket, would have seen 14. Rb1 and thought, <"Ho ho! The game is afoot! A new move! Time for some jolly!">
He would then have seen 14...Qe5 appear on the demo board.
A few moments later he would be surprised to read:
<15. Bf4 NICHYA AGREED>.
With a mournful gait, the man would then have left the Hall of Columns.
He would have taken his little 75 stotinki ticket and thrown it into the river Don, with a sardonic laugh.
From the Don the little ticket would float into the Dnieper, and from the Dnieper into the Bug, and from the Bug it would float down the Volga, and from the Volga into the Caspian Sea.
And from the Caspian Sea there is no outlet, and the poor little ticket would float round and round it for ever and ever.
