14th Game in World Title Chess Match Adjourned

Defending champion Gary Kasparov and his fellow Soviet rival Anatoly Karpov adjourned the 14th game of the World Chess Championship on Monday after both encountered time troubles after five hours of play.

Kasparov, using the Scotch Opening, a strategy shunned by top players since the late 1800s. moved an hour ahead on the clock and built up a threatening attack. But he gradually ran out of steam in the face of Karpov’s defense and joined his rival in a mad rush to complete the mandatory 40 moves before their clocks ran out.

Both had three pawns, a rook, a queen and king when Kasparov sealed his 41st move. They are tied in the 24-game match at 6 1/2 points.

Here are the moves of the game:

Kasparov-Karpov 14: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nxc6 bxc6 6 e5 Qe7 7 Qe2 Nd5 8 c4 Ba6 9 b3 0-0-0 10 g3 Re8 11 Bb2 f6 12 Bg2 fxe5 13 0-0 h5 14 Qd2 Nf6 15 Qa5 Bb7 16 Ba3 Qe6 17 Bxf8 Rhxf8 18 Qxa7 Qg4 19 Na3 h4 20 Nc2 h3 21 Bh1 Ne4 22 a4 Nc3 23 Rae1 Ne2+ 24 Rxe2 Qxe2 25 Nb4 d5 26 cxd5 cxd5 27 Bxd5 Bxb5 28 Nxd5 Qc2 29 Qa6+ Kd7 30 Ne3 Qe4 31 Rc1 Rb8 32 Qf1 Rxb3 33 Qxh3+ Kd8 34 Qh5 Kc8 35 Qd1 Rxe3 36 fxe3 Qxe3 37 Kh1 Qe4+ 38 Kg1 Qe3+ 39 Kh1 Qe4+ 40 Kg1 Rd8.
