Karpov-Kasparov World Championship 1985 (Game 6)

The 1985 World Championship match had clearly taken a major turn in the last two games. After three games, challenger Garry Kasparov was leading 2-1 with a win and two draws but world champion Anatoly Karpov upped his game to win games 4 and 5 and now has a 3-2 lead. Clearly Kasparov has to up his game or hope Karpov's game will go down to stay in the championship, so there were a lot of expectations going into Game 6, with Karpov white:

Here is Game 6:          

This was a good game, with Kasparov declining the Queen's Gambit. Karpov was able to win a pawn and for a moment thought that he might get a third consecutive victory but Kasparov forced both Karpov's Rook and his King to defend the a and f-pawns respectively. This was enough compensation for for him ans so the players agreed to a draw.

So after game 6, Karpov leads by the score of 3-5-2.5.
