Today’s puzzle worthy position comes from one of the many great battles between GM Anatoly Karpov and GM Jan Timman. Both chess geniuses were born in 1951 and their chessboard rivalry stretched for a half century from 1967 until 2016. Karpov had a winning record against his Dutch contemporary with a score 30 to 8, with 63 draws at classical time controls. Despite the Russian’s dominating record, games between GM Anatoly Karpov and GM Jan Timman were almost always hard fought struggles and this, of course, was especially true in their 1993 FIDE World Championship Match in which Karpov triumphed.
