THE WEEKLY KNIGHT
===================
(September 11, 1993)
Anatoly Karpov, now the world's highest rated player as a
result of FIDE's banishment of Garri Kasparov, continued his
winning ways when he claimed victory at the Category 14 Dos
Hermanas, Spain invitational tournament held at the end of
May. Dos Hermanas marked the fourth major win of the year
for the 42 year old former World Champion, who had
previously secured victories at Category 14 Baden-Baden,
Germany; the strong Hoogovens elimination event and at
Dortmund, one of 1993's strongest tournaments.
Karpov's performance at Dos Hermanas was reminiscent of the
days when he would not just win, but he would dominate the
field. Despite competition that was rated near 2600, Karpov
finished with an impressive 7.5 out of 9 points, consisting
of 6 wins, 3 draws and no losses.
A full point behind in second place at 6.5-2.5 was 17 year
old Judit Polgar. Russian GMs Alexander Khalifman and
Vladimir Epishin tied with Spanish GM Manuel Rivas Pastor at
5-4, while Israeli (formerly Russian) GM Leonid Yudasin, who
won the subsequent tournament held at Leon and the Spaniard,
Jorge Magem, followed with 4-5 scores. English GM Michael
Adams' 3.5-5.5 result was disappointing. Two Spanish IMs,
Izeta and Fernandez, brought up the rear with 2.5 and 2
points, respectively.
Although he's not known as an attacking player, Karpov's
play has become noticeably more aggressive in recent years.
In his game against Yudasin, he seized the opportunity to
sacrifice an exchange to open the position in front of the
Black king.
