Draw Gives Kasparov 11-9 Lead Over Chess Champion

The 20th game of the World Chess championship between titlist Anatoly Karpov and challenger Gary Kasparov was drawn Sunday after the 85th move, bringing the score in the series to 11-9 in Kasparov’s favor.

The game, in which Karpov, 34, played the white pieces, was begun Saturday night and adjourned with Kasparov’s sealed 41st move.

A maximum of four games remain in the title series, and Kasparov’s two-point lead is considered by most chess experts to be unbeatable so late in the championship. A draw counts half a point for each player, and Karpov needs at least a 12-12 tie to retain his championship.

Karpov leads, 4-2, in games, with six needed for victory. If no one wins six games, victory goes to the first player to get 12 1/2 points. The next game is scheduled Tuesday.

Here are the moves in the game:
