GK-AK_1985. The first notice is that they are not trading pieces like Spassky and Fischer. In the Kasparov-Karpov world championship game above, all pieces are on board through Move 20.
Upon 28 d6 g4, Black is already down a Pawn, and could take the d6-Pawn but instead wants to cover two en passant squares at once. '33 Rf4 Ne4' and there are only 7 moves left to the score, whilst 6 pieces of each 7 are still on board. Again the peculiar line-up is preventing even trading and leads to fast wild finish all over at the Move 40.
Exactly '33 Rf4...' is the White move that does not do anything but cause exchanges leaving the two White Knights too far away. But where does White go wrong? Just earlier with '31 fxg4...' served better with 31 'f4...'. Then White is apace with Black though still expect eccentric finish with more pieces than pawns.
