Look at the note at the bottom of the page above the citations...

Crucial game 16

One move in game 16 may have had a profound effect on chess history. In this position, Karpov was tired and offered a draw (and Kasparov accepted) (Kasparov 2008:137–38). Karpov should have won if he had played 37... Rd5! At this point Karpov was leading the match 4-0. If he had won this game, his win in game 27 would have ended the match with a 6-0 victory.


While on...

The Queen is on a different square in the end position. I would say that's pretty important since there's a claim that Karpov could've won here with a skewer on the Queen and Knight.

What's going on here?

I looked it up in Kasparov's book on the match.

The notation in the second link is wrong. It gives 33. Qf4 when in fact 33. Qe5 was played.
