| Jun-16-03 | | yorkebrazil: Great Kasp attack! Is the 10.... d6 the black misstake? The main line is 10.... 0-0, now i know why. |
 |
| Apr-26-04 | | WMD: According to Ray Keene: "At the end of this game Kasparov had taken a mere 40 minutes. In fact, the whole game had formed part of his opening preparation. He needed to do no thinking at all at the board." Whilst that may be a slight exaggeration, this game deserves comparison with their world championship game in New York, which Kasparov won directly from the opening despite heroic defence from Anand. |
|
| Jan-06-05 | | Bobak Zahmat: Undoubtfully Kasparov's 14th move is a geniuse one. With that move he not only trades his bishop for pawn, but takes all the initiative and afterwards the game. |
|
| Jul-15-05 | | ericjohn: The move 18.Rxf6 is the key of kasparov winning attack.The exchange sacrifice allows casprov to mobilize his forces while anand's queen is helpless...two knights is prove to be better even in 3 rooks! |

| Jul-15-05 | | pantlko: in 90's Tilburg was one of the very important tournaments of the year with Linares, Dortmund etc. why it has stopped organizing any more?? |

| | alexandrovm: and black seems to lose the rook or the game, black can't protect the queen and the rook at the same time without allowing white to make a mating attack on black's king, for example: Qh6 (black protecting the rook and taking the queen out of harm way) 30. Qd6+ Ke8 (only move) 31. Nc7# |

 | | ajile: The move I like in this opening is 12.e5. All the great attacking players seem to play like this. White forces open lines and Black has no chance to catch his breath. I'm guessing that there are better lines now than Nxe5 for Black on his 12th move. |

| Oct-20-05 | | Queens Gambit: Wow!!! a beatifull game! |
|
| Oct-30-05 | | CowardlyKnight: Amazing final position. |
|
| Oct-30-05 | | CowardlyKnight: hah.. Anand must had been soooooo happy when he thought he had caught Kaspy with that knight sac. |

| | Petrocephalon: <euripides>, <samvega> re: 'queen manouevering from d1-h5-h4-e1-c3'. Reminds me of the basic strategy in tennis of delivering the ball to alternating sides of the court. The Black queen can't keep pace owing to the Ne4 and Rd1. |

| | amuralid: wow! Another GK gem. |
|
| Apr-27-07 | | scholes: Kasparov must have been angry after losing 1st game with Anand so he devoured him in the 2nd game |

| | iccsumant: why not 14...Ke7? That looks like a much better move! |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | krippp: <iccsumant>: <14...Ke7> loses quickly to <15.Nc6+!>.
Pretty much regardless of what Black plays (<bxc6> or <Ke8>), White will then proceed with <Bxc5> followed by <Rxf6>. Now there's all kinds of scary stuff waiting to happen, such as <Ne4-f6#>, or <Rxf7 Kxf7 Qh5+ g6 Rf1+>...
I haven't really analyzed - or seen it analyzed - very deeply, but the idea of moving the king out of the way seems to possibly work, if done by <14...Kf8>. |
|
| Apr-28-08 | | humangraymatter: Fascinating victory from Kasparov! |
|
| May-23-08 | | transhuman7: Amazing play by Kasparov. A good example of why he dominated chess for so long. |
|
| May-26-08 | | analysethat: <I love the queen manouevering from d1-h5-h4-e1-c3.> Good comment and I agree. i saw the moves to h5 and h4 as individual moves, but Kasparov included them as part of a bigger plan. This cleared d1 for the rook and got the queen on to the black squares so that black had to choose which side to defend. Anand chasing the queen around just made the queen go where it wanted to go. (not that there was much choice). Seeing especially his earlier games I have always marvelled that Kasparov is especially good with his knights and in way he mobilises his Rook so that it comes to d1 as part of an assault. Wonder what Anand was thinking when he went for his knight sac. |

| May-06-09 | | Lyink: Other possibilities also lead to mate. If:
30. .. Qe5
Then white has:
31. Nxf6+!
and:
31. ... Qxf6 30. Qd6+ Ke8 31. Nf7#
31. ... Kd8 30. Qxf8# |
|
| May-06-09 | | Lyink: Oops its 29... Qe5 etc... |
|
| Jul-16-09 | | pericles of athens: looks to me like move25 Qc7 is checkmate. right? if so, why wouldn't special K play it? seems obvious to me. or am i crazy? |
|
Jul-16-09
| | blacksburg: looks like mate to me too...what gives? |
