10th Game in Chess Match Also a Draw

World chess champion Anatoly Karpov and challenger Gary Kasparov on Saturday played perhaps the most exciting game of their title match, but the dramatic contest ended in a draw.

A full house of more than 1,000 spectators saluted the effort with thunderous applause as the game, the 10th of the match, ended in perpetual check after 36 moves.

Experts said the game was perhaps the most exciting of what has already been a combative match. Both players were praised for their accuracy and inventiveness.

Karpov leads the match with 5 1/2 points to Kasparov’s 4 1/2. The match goes to the first player to win six games or to amass 12 1/2 points. A win counts one point and a draw a half point.

The next game, with Kasparov playing white, is scheduled for Tuesday.
