Anatoly Karpov vs Viktor Korchnoi · 1974 · move 22.
Which bishop move develops the c1 bishop to f4?
Korchnoi offers material near White’s king and activates both rooks. Karpov’s king recaptures on f2, leaving White to solve concrete defensive problems without castling cover. A knight jump, bishop development and a later capture on g5 show how coordinated pieces can challenge an attack before the rooks are exchanged.
