Http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1067179 -- it's the
forty-two-mover that makes the all-time top-ten list, not the forty-mover
already having been posted here, that was played in the same world championship match. Let's see what we can do with this above, the last
game of the match, making Kasparov champion -- probably just repeating the
business about the prescient Rook move. Http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=29329. The '23 ...Re7' just looks like a good move, and no variantist is going to memorize whether any ''move 23'' with any opening (with any given rules-set) is a novelty or not. 
Credit Garry Kasporov a dramatic finish needing all 24 scheduled games. 
The first 23, Karpov had won 3 and Kasparov 4, and if Anatoli Karpov wins the above Game 24, the resulting tie 12-12 means champion Karpov retains the title.  Not to be, Black wins above. Now at Move 29 White is up a Pawn. Where does White go wrong?
