Alexander Beliavsky – Anatoly Karpov
Linares 7th 1989 · Queen and knight vs. queen and knight · 0-1
Start of the endgame, move 28
The story
Here Karpov was clearly lost for a while: after 31…♕d5 Stockfish sees White more than four pawns ahead. But Karpov takes the h-pawn with 37…♕xh4+ and the white knight with 38…♕xg3, and his c-pawn moves forward with 40…c3 – Black won. Where White gave the advantage away the measurement does not show: it stops once a game seems decided.

The moves from the start of the endgame
Values: Stockfish 19 at depth 24 with a time limit, for White in pawns; from five men or fewer the verdict of the Syzygy tablebase. A measurement that did not reach the depth does not count.
