political problem of Viktor Korchnoi made a
rematch impossible, and it was left to Kar-
pov himself to deal with that rebellious
character. Btit now, at last, the boycott is
over. At the closing ceremony, nearly all the
Soviet delegation included Yiktor in their list
of signatures on souvenirs of the event, and
, as one of the players remarked to Korchnoi,
"Now it is even allowed to ask for your
autograph."
The rise of young talent, notably Karpov
and Gary Kasparov, was the necessary in-
gredient to give the Soviets confidence to
face the World again. The World teain was
stronger, I believe, than in Belgrade. True,
there was no Bobby Fischer in Iondon, but
the successes of the members of the team as
a whole outweigh the 12 who did battle in
1970, Nevertheless, the Soviets managed a
convincing 21-19 victory, and they seem to
be regaining the capacity for success that
they enjoyed at the end ofthe 1960s. Perhaps
the best indication that Soviet chess is
returnirg to full strength is the fact that the
coming world championship match will be
the first in the Soviet Union since 1969.

Now 40. Kc6 Rg5 decides the issue quick-

It is worth studying how Black gradually
sacrificed back his material advantage,
eventually shrinking it to a single pawn -
but a pawn that proved the lethal weapon in
the endgame.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Sometimes, even if you don't have a material
advantage, it is worth exchanging into a
favorable endgame instead of entering into
murky - and potentially double-edged -
middlegame complications. We can observe
this in our next game, which was played at
the 1984 Valtey Forge International, again in
the last round.
