Karpov (B) against Li Tian (W) in a blitz exhibition match

The position

IM Mas was trembling the entire time, including the time where Karpov analyse the game and showed him the better moves.

This is the position. Look equal huh?! but IM Mas blundered a rook few moves later. And he had no idea that the Rook was free until Karpov took it! It's ok Mas, everybody knew your expertise is in Classical game.
