One of the most important components of chess is active defense and this game illustrates its magic nature. The World Champion Anatoly Karpov exerts tremendous pressure on Mark Taimanov's position and is ready to start a decisive pawn storm. Taimanov doesn't have any counterplay and his position looks hopeless. But then the magic begins. Taimanov transforms matter into spirit, namely, by sacrificing a pawn, he activates his pieces and seizes the initiative. Now Karpov's position becomes critical and Taimanov finishes the game with one of the most beautiful combinations of his career.
