This is a game from 2007 between the 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov and International Master Mihajlo Stojanovic. Black employs the Fort Knox variation of the French Defense, but then opts for the atypical move b6. See how Karpov pounces on this idea immediately and leaves no hope for his opponent.
