Karpov wins Linares 1994 with a round to spare.

I only have one game today from round 12. Kramnik 0-1 Shirov.
A little disappointing as I'd like to see Bareev 1-0 Ivanchuk
amongst others. The papers should be better tomorrow,

The game Anand 1/2 Karpov was 26 moves according to reports.
Also Kasparov is reported to have agreed a short draw against
the tailender Beliavsky. UK Teletext speculates that the
controversy surrounding his game against Judit Polgar is
part of the reason. I will endevour to try and find the footage
from Spanish TV and give my comments then.

Karpov will almost certainly try and beat Beliavsky in the last round.
According to UK Teletext he can get a rating of 3000 for this tournament
if he does so. (this seems a little fishy to me - there are experts out
there who can calculate the possible ratings and I wouldn't dream of
arguing with their calculations)

Karpov wins Linares 1994 with a round to spare.

I only have one game today from round 12. Kramnik 0-1 Shirov.
A little disappointing as I'd like to see Bareev 1-0 Ivanchuk
amongst others. The papers should be better tomorrow,

The game Anand 1/2 Karpov was 26 moves according to reports.
Also Kasparov is reported to have agreed a short draw against
the tailender Beliavsky. UK Teletext speculates that the
controversy surrounding his game against Judit Polgar is
part of the reason. I will endevour to try and find the footage
from Spanish TV and give my comments then.

Karpov will almost certainly try and beat Beliavsky in the last round.
According to UK Teletext he can get a rating of 3000 for this tournament
if he does so. (this seems a little fishy to me - there are experts out
there who can calculate the possible ratings and I wouldn't dream of
arguing with their calculations)
