When a World Champion has no chance !!!

Submitted by joaoporto on Tue, 03/17/2009 at 1:55pm.

This is an amazing game where Geller beats the World Champion Karpov in his only defeat at the 1976 USSR Championship.

I think it´s a game where the French defence doesn´t work due to the great game that Geller made.

Enjoy it, as i did :

To avoid losing the game, black has to play Re2. After that move, white rook gives a 2 pawn advantage for white at the endgame, no ?

Geller makes Karpov to seem like an amature!The check with the rook and the queen sacrifice are amazing.Reminds me a bit of Tal..
