Their scenario is usually similar to each other: an unpretentious debut, mid-game without a special tactical battle, in which the pieces change one after another, and finally, an approximately equal endgame, where Andersson wins a couple of dozen moves ... for some reason wins, and without noticeable mistakes rivals. At first it seems that this is just an accident, then there is a suspicion that everything is not so simple, at last you feel admiration for the seemingly unpretentious, but immaculately delicate game. Positions with a minimum number of figures have always been & laquo; skate & raquo; Andersson. Someone successfully joked that being in good shape, Ulf could win even in a position where only two kings remain on the board. & nbsp;
