| whatthefat: Kasparov may not have been on his best form here, but a fascinating game nonetheless. I find the relative passivity of the white rooks at the 21st move particularly interesting, weighed up against the equally enclosed black bishops. All comes into focus with 23.c5 though; the rooks soon find their voices, while the black bishops remain nothing but dead weight. |

| VaselineTopLove: wow kasparov got really @&?*#! up his ***! they should rename this to anal attack instead of canal attack.. |
|

| Open Defence: he might need some vaseline after this |

| Sacsacmate: What a game by Chuky ! I guess Kasparov must have felt suffocated for last 10-13 moves.... look at his pieces the whole army on the first rank... |
|

| Andrijadj: He probably felt claustrophobic... |

| Pawnage: This is amazing, I first saw this game in a very interesting video by <kingscrusher>. I wonder why Kasparov didn't play ...e5 (<around> move 17) to give his light-squared bishop some room, but I'm sure there's a good reason I've overlooked. Sheer brilliancy by Ivanchuk. |

| Shams: <Riverbeast, Slomarko> Krush took the pawn on e4 and won a very nice game:
H Akopyan vs I Krush, 1999 |

| Shams: well, I should say her half of the game was nice. white played badly at times. |

| WhiteRook48: wondering how to fight the Sicilian? Here |

| returnoftheking: I just looked at a game were Kasparov was also crushed after the Bb5 variation. Akopian vs Kasparov, 2002 I am wondering if Kasparov has a relatively bad score with this variation as black. |

| Phony Benoni: <returnoftheking> After <1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+>, Kasparov was +4 =9 -1 against GM competition, this being his only loss. The Akopian vs Kasparov, 2002 was the <1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5> variation, where Kasparov's score isn't so good: +1 =3 -2. (The other loss was Rublevsky vs Kasparov, 2004.) |

| Vincere: This is probably the most amazing win I've ever seen againt such a great master as Kasparov. Ivanchuk dominated the whole game, I know very little about this variation 3. Bb5+.. but it seems to me that Kasparov make huge mistakes in the opening, after only ten moves Ivanchuk has a really better position. The black King on the center , the restringed mobility of his pieces really turned him down. I think black should have castled in the queen side in the begging, something like 10. Bb6 followed by Qc7 and 0-0-0, and on the right time Kb8. |

| ski: small point, but why is 12. Kh1 played? it seems a loss of tempo. |

| Jim Bartle: If I ever find my Inside Chess I can say. Seirawan wrote in effect, that Ivanchuk knew he had Kasparov and trouble and wanted to get his king out of the line of fire on the g1-a7 diagonal before starting his attack. He considered it a strong move, and a message to Kasparov that he knew he was in control. |
|

| ski: hmmm, well thanks. i will have to think about that one. |
|
| Aug-26-09 |
| traction: <ski> well cant disagree with seirawan but later in the game ivanchuck's took on g file was quite annoying for kaspy...maybe it was chucky's plan to use the open g file for play? |

| hedgeh0g: It's a thematic move in the Sicilian after castling kingside, because it takes the king off a diagonal which is often used by Black. If you're going to play it at some point, better sooner than later, I suppose. This game is long overdue for GotD. It's a masterpiece by Chucky. |
