75%
of Row offered the draw. Sure, it would have been a plaesure to distribute
some remaining prizes. But after 25. ... Nxf2+, 26.Kg1 Nh3+, 27.gxh3,
Qh1+, 28.Kf2 Qf3+, 29.Kg1 Qh1+ Black draws by repeating the moves. Congratulations
to RoW for this exciting game! Ok, 22. Qa3 was a mistake from our side.
A communication-problem on the phone and not a mistake by Artur Jussupow.
When we discovered it it was to late. But also with 22. Qb3 Whites advantage
was very small and a draw probable. Now we are looking forward the next
years game, when RoW play the White pieces. Sure, the position will
be known, just short before. But before hopefully we meet together in
a few days in Mainz for the Chess Classic 2003!
