The eighth game between Viktor Korchnoi
and Gary Kasparov repeated the 1 d4 d5
2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 g3 dxc4 pattern
that has characterised the series.
The Catalan opening proceeded with
only three snexpected moves, white's
sixth Qa4+ Bd7 and black's nHnth
Be3 Bd5 and eleventh Qc4 Bd5, leading
to a typical end game afler a dour
struggle concluding in a draw.
Korchnoi tried hard to force a win
with a theoretically superior pawn
structure, but was unlikely to make
headway against a player of Kasparov's
stature and is 4½-3½ down in the series
