NEW YORK — The moves that helped Gary Kasparow win his first game in the world chess championship took less than six minutes at the board — and about two days in his mind.

"I spent maybe 48 hours on the game," the champion Kasparov told spectators after his stunning victory Tuesday over Viswanathan Anand in the 10th game of the tournament.
- Kasparov retains title if tournament ends in 10-10 tie.
Playing with the advantage of the white pieces, which move first, Kasparov spent less than six minutes on his first 21 moves.
In a Ruy Lopez opening, the 32-year-old Russian unleashed a brilliant pawn sacrifice on his 14th move, leading to a rook sacrifice three moves later that gave him a crushing position.
Anand survived temporarily by trading queens, but was forced into a losing endgame, down a pawn and unable to stop the relentless advance of three white pawns. He resigned in a hopeless position on the 38th move.
Kasparov said he discovered the new plan Friday night and worked on it with his team of analysts all weekend. "This game was won basically at home," he said moments

after his victory, "I hope this game will change the course of the event."
Kasparov's victory tied the match 5-Anand, 25, of India had taken the lead by winning the ninth game on Monday. The first eight games ended in draws.
Spectators watching the match on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center were startled Tuesday by the speed of Kasparov's opening play and his aggression.
During his first 21 moves, Kaspar moved almost instantaneously and then retreated to a room behind the playing area. On his 19th move, he slammed down a dramatic bishop sacrifice and banged the door as he left.
"This guy is just fuming," said British Grandmaster Daniel King as the champion rushed out his opening moves.
American Grandmaster Patrick Wolff, a member of Anand's team, criticized Kasparov's behavior. "Vishy wasn't slamming doors yesterday when he was winning," he said.
Anand plays white in the 11th game of the Professional Chess Association world championship today.
Kasparov replied, "We are all human beings."
Powell holds lead in presidential poll
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Retired Gen. Colin Powell would defeat President Clinton by 15 percentage points if the presidential election were held now, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll.
The survey, taken Friday through Sunday, found Powell, running as the Republican nominee, would best Clinton 54-39 and that Clinton would defeat
GOP front-runner Bob Dole, 51 percent to 44 percent.
If Powell ran as an independent, he and Clinton would tie at 33 percent and Dole would get 30 percent — a statistical dead heat given the margin of error.
The poll found Dole and Powell deadlocked among Republicans at 31 percent each in a hypothetical race for the GOP nomination, with all other contenders in single digits.
Among Republicans, 42 percent said Powell's pro-choice position on abortion would make them more likely to vote for him, 31 percent less likely and 25 percent said it would have no effect.
On Powell's support for a waiting period to buy a gun, 62 percent of Republican questions questioned said that would make them more likely to vote for him. 16 percent less likely and 20 percent said it
would make no difference.
On affirmative action, 37 percent of Republicans said Powell's opposition to quotas while still supporting some type of affirmative action makes them more likely to vote for him, 27 percent less likely and 32 percent said it would not effect their vote.
The telephone survey of 1,011 adults had an overall margin of error of 3 percent. The subset survey of Republicans had a 5 percent margin of error.
