It’s the 16th game from the World Championship Match 1985 between two of the greatest chess players, Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov, where Kasparov was playing Black. Kasparov took the lead after winning what can be called a truly fantastic piece of chess game.

The Sicilian defense was played and there was a controversial gambit early in the opening, which later was coined “The Kasparov Gambit”. Kasparov achieved a dynamic compensation for the pawn later in the game, resulting in very passive pieces for Karpov. Watch this amazing game now!
