I think each player had an hour... or 30 minutes. Not sure. They said, "...and even though the entire game has to be finished in an hour Karpov is taking fiteen, sixteen, seventeen minutes..."
Did anyone else see that? I don't think Karpov's clock ran out.

Originally posted by tomtom232Wasn't it, is that not the way chess should be played? Unbelievable game, the most touching aspect was Spasskys modesty at the end, he acknowledged the crowds cheers and simply waved to say it was nothing, an awesome dude! Karpov was chillingly not perplexed!
Wow that was an exciting finish!

Naturally in the final position, black must give away his queen or suffer mate after ...Kd7 Nc5+

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThanks, cleared up that question. So after the king moves, it's check with knight and the king has no haven and the only move left for black is queen take knight, obviously a loser, 9 move mate, so it was resign time. Anyone know the final result of that match? One hour each on the clocks.

Originally posted by sonhouseI can only find that game and the first one and Karpov won the first game. I posted the video to that game in the thread "Karpov's Endgame Technique".
