Russland Vs England

The rebound then fell to Lallana at the near post who also smashed the woodwork - but the offside flag was already raised.

But England made the breakthrough not long after as Kane, Rooney and Dier stood over a free kick following a foul on Alli, with the Spurs striker running over the ball and leaving it for Dier to curl over the wall and beyond the dive of Akinfeev.

Hodgson's side looked set to hold on for a deserved win, but the jubilation in the England camp turned to despair in the second minute of added-on time.

After a corner had been cleared, captain Berezutski got above Danny Rose to loop a header towards goal, and despite Denis Gluskakov getting a touch, the ball had already crossed the line.

It was a cruel blow for England who had dominated much of the match and must now turn their focus to Thursday's clash with group leaders Wales.

Mr Hasan wisely handed over executive captaincy duties to Lubomir Kavalek whilst the Soviets employed grandmaster and psychologist Nikolai Krogius in the same role.

The chief arbiter was Robert Wade. For the World side, Portisch had been insulted by the offer of board 7 and refused to play.

Spassky had only just left the USSR to move to France and felt it would be overly painful to line up as an opponent of his old friends.

Hort simply had other commitments. Bent Larsen and Korchnoi were the other veterans present on the world side. The veterans Tal, Smyslov and Polugaevsky participated once more and again turned in respectable performances.

Petrosian was absent through illness but the solid Yuri Razuvaev deputised admirably. The World's Miles and Torre restored some pride on the bottom boards, but the real damage was done on board 6, where rampant former world junior champion Beliavsky could not be contained by the combined efforts of Seirawan and Larsen.

Some observers believed that Seirawan had foolishly been preferred to the higher rated Walter Browne because he had a more 'glamorous image'.

The third match occurred in Moscow, September 8—11, and was this time billed as the "Match of the New Century" or "Match of the 21st Century".

If the event were to be more media and sponsor-friendly, some drastic format changes were required. Out of favour was the idea that combatants paired up only with their opposite number and engaged in a lengthy, psychological war of attrition.

This might have appealed to the chess purist but did nothing for the casual observer or thrills-and-spills-hungry journalist.

Furthermore, in order to make chess a viable spectator sport, it was widely believed short time limits and spectacular, rapid finishes were necessary elements.

Then there was the difficult task of getting most of the planet's elite players in the same place at the same time. A lengthy tournament might discourage some from attending at all.

The finalised arrangements appeared to successfully cover all of the bases. This could be compressed into just four days with two or three rounds played each day.

In terms of team selection, the intervening break up of the Soviet Union had precipitated some significant changes. This time it was Russia versus the Rest of the World and players from the remainder of the Union fulfilled the eligibility criteria for the Rest of the World squad.

It seemed at first that this would facilitate an unstoppable World team, but on closer inspection, it was not so clear.

With the further addition of three former champions of Russia Alexander Morozevich , Peter Svidler and Alexander Motylev and two more players with Elo ratings in excess of Evgeny Bareev and Alexander Grischuk , things were looking decidedly brighter than might have been expected.

Indeed, the average Elo ratings of the two sides were separated by only one point and so a close contest was in prospect. The World team had most of their first choice players available, except for absentees Michael Adams and Veselin Topalov who would have been automatic picks.

Each side was allowed two substitutes, who could fill in anywhere, provided they did not play anyone more than once. The outcome was finely balanced for most of the match, the Rest of the World side just pulling away for a comfortable win in the last three rounds.

In seeking to identify poor performances on the Russian side, it is noticeable that by the end of round 3, none of the four "K"s had scored a single win.

Kasparov in particular, looked out of sorts, losing to Polgar for the first time in some 20 encounters. Motylev and Zvjaginsev looked out of their depth.
