Great news for English chess supporters. Nigel Short at last played a decent
opening, and went straight for the initiative in a Queen's Gambit Accepted
by castling long and pushing the K-side pawns. Karpov tried to escape into
an ending, but got into bad time trouble (2 minutes for moves 31-40) and
failed to find a defensive plan.

After 50 moves, Short has finished gaining space, and has won a pawn
which with his pieces more active should give him good chances of a win.

I believe the adjournment will be played today. If not, they will be
playing game 4.

No news yet of the other match (Yusupov-Timman), where Yusupov won game 1
with White, and drew game 2.

Denis: please post to rec.games.chess. Hope you like the format this time...
