25.Bc2
A very important position. All this time
white had the initiative and then came the
moment when the attack ended. At this
point it is very important to calm down and
maintain balance. Kamsky allow a mistake
- he is looking for further activity, although
it is time to think about the equation.
Right move is 25.c5 bc5 26.Bc5 Bc5
27.Rc5 Rae8 with equality (27...Bg4?
28.Qg4 Re1 29.d6! cd6? 30.Rf5+).
25...Rae8
Karpov has an incredible ability to
coordinate his forces so that they are at
their most efficient. Notice how he has
arranged his pieces so that they do not
stand in each other's way, and they are all
protected; there appears not to be a single
weakness in his whole army. Compare this
position with the one where he played 11...
Kd8; it is hard to imagine that he would be
able to achieve such harmony.With his
king safe, his rooks doubled and White's
kingside weakened, the initiative has
passed over to Karpov.
26.Qd3
Defend weak case f3.

26...Bg4
The idea was to bring the queen to h7, but
now that he is here he must have realised
that 27 Qh7 would have been met by
27...g5!
27.Bd2?
A decisive mistake. 27.Bd4? Qf3 28.Qf3
Bf3 29.Kf1 Re1 30.Re1 Bg2 31.Kg2 Re1
+; 27.Qh7 g5; 27.Bd1 Bf5 28.Qd2 Ba3. If
27.f4 (indicated by Karpov) 27...Re3!
28.Re3 Re3 29.Qe3 Qb2, with idea
30...Ba3 30.h3 Bf5 31.Qf2 Bc5 32.Qd2
Bg6+ and white is completely paralyzed.
Best was 27.Kg1 Bh3 28.Qh7 g5 29.Bg6!!

So, let's summarize. Karpov held a game at
the championship level, showing
something new: playing without castling
with the full board pieces spent his plan to
centralize their figures. Then he translated
the king to a safe place, all the while
provoking white to active moves. The rest
of the game Kamsky wanted to punish
black for daring.

40.Bd3?
All these errors can be eplained only by the
time pressure.Kamsky makes a mistake
and loses last. 40.Rg1 held the position:
40...Be6 (40...f5 41.Rg5 Kf6 42.Bh5!!

(42...Ke7 43.Be4) 43.Bf5 Kf7 44.Rg8

White resigned 0:1.
The old theory says: Castling may be not
necesseary, when the centre of the board is
blocked by pawns. These games have
shown, that playing with uncastled king
can be played even in half-open position,
planning a regrouping of pieces and
combining threats. Important
psychological side: the opponent thinks
that need necessarily to mate uncastled
king and loses vigilance.
