[Event "World Junior Championship"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "Karpov"] [Black "Payrhuber"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B50"] [Opening "Sicilian: 2.Nf3 d6 3.g3"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. g3 { A slow and ineffective move which Karpov soon abandoned.} 3... Nf6 4. d3 Nc6 5. Bg2 g6 6. O-O Bg7 7. Re1 O-O 8. c3 {White prepares the central advance d3-d4.} 8... Ne8 {Black hopes to take the initiative on the kingside, but he isn't ready for such aggression.} 9. Na3 {White keeps the c1-h6 diagonal open for his bishop and prepares to centralize his knight by way of c4.} 9... f5 10. Ng5 {White takes aim at the weakened e6 square and opens the diagonal for his bishop to take aim at Black's kingside from e4 or d5.} 10... Nc7 { Now White adopts a well-known procedure to win the exchange.} 11. Qb3+ Kh8 { 11...e6 12.exf5 gxf5 and Black will lose control of e6.} 12. exf5 {White could win the exchange immediately by checking on f7, but first he opens the h1-a8 diagonal for his bishop.} 12... Bxf5 13. Nf7+ Rxf7 { Black must give up the rook because of the fork of his king and queen.} 14. Qxf7 e6 {Black hopes to get compensation for the exchange by trapping White's queen, which now has no safe square to move to.} 15. Bg5 {Now White's queen will get out and take several more Black pieces in the process. If you have a question about how this will happen, play the position out with Gambit. Karpov's opponent didn't bother, prefering resignation here.} 1-0
