The Kasparov-Karpov World Championship match in 1990 Lyon.

@UnityChess

Overall Kasparov won four games and lost three—all seven combined match victories came with the white pieces. His fourth and final win in game 20 set him up with a two-point lead with four games to play. Not only was it critical for the match score, it was also beautiful and vintage Garry.
