1. d4 {I was involved in a number of well-played games in Moscow but
unfortunately all by my opponents. In fact going into the last round my score
was Played 7 Won 1 Drew 2 Lost 4. On the way down from my room on the 23rd
floor to ground level in the hotel just prior to the last round match I
suddenly realised I was standing next to the world champion, so close in the
crowded lift that I could feel his breath on my neck. I remember thinking that
maybe some of his magic would rub off on me and help me against my opponent.
Well maybe it did or maybe not but this is what happened .....} Nf6 2. c4 g6 3.
