The game continuation is also interesting.} 10.Nb3 exf4 11.Bxf4 Be6 12.Kh1 {Black's weakened d-pawn is offset by White's weakened e-pawn, giving rise to equal chances.} d5 {In this way Black solves his opening problems.} 13.e5 Nd7 14.Nxd5 Ndxe5 15.c4 {15.Nxe7+ Qxe7 and White's two bishops advantage are balanced by Black's more centralized pieces.} Bg5 16.Nc5 Bxf4 17.Rxf4 b6 18.Ne4 {18.Nxe6 fxe6 19.Rxf8+ Qxf8 20.Nc3 Rd8 gives Black a pull thanks to his more active pieces.} b5 19.b3 {19.cxb5 Bxd5 20.bxc6 Ng6 21.Rg4 f5 wins material.} bxc4 20.Bxc4 Kh8 21.Qh5 {An empty gesture.

So Geller tries to chase it away.} 25.b4 Qxb4 26.Nf6 {At first glance, this is impressive because my queen is under attack from the rook at h4. But the knight doesn't do anything at f6.} Qe7 27.Rf1 Rfd8 {Here Geller gave up, since he has no compensation for the material.} 0-1 [Event "Moscow"] [Site "?"] [Date "1981.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Geller"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "54"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Be2 {The Scheveningen variation of the Sicilian Defense has served me well over the years.} Nf6 7.O-O Be7 8.Be3 O-O 9.f4 e5 {Today I would prefer to keep the tension in the position with 9...a6.
