  catfriend: For me, the most pleasing move is 23.c5 - the pawn goes on! c5 is protected thrice - but taking with b leaves white with a deadly passed pawn, 23..d:c5 allows 24.Nc4 Rb8 25.Nd6+ (I'm without a software right now, but it seems very good for Chucky) and taking with the rook - well, we see it's a massacre!

  An Englishman: Good Evening: This is an amazing crush, esp. given the competition.
Mar-23-10  AccDrag: The position after Black's 36th is amazing. Kasparov must have been humiliated. Usually it's his opponent's pieces huddled on the back rank while his own pieces work the magic.

Very smooth how Ivanchuk played g4 the moment Black could not take e.p. All Black's hopes were dashed, and White finished in crushing style.

Mar-23-10  Shah Mat: wu tang in the house??
Mar-23-10  dale2222222: this is one of my favorite games... it must still enrage kasparov to have lost it

  hedgeh0g: Nice to see this as GotD! It's amazing how quickly and easily Black's position turns into something very ugly.

  kevin86: a rare loss for Kasparov-and this was a thrashing!
Mar-23-10  ounos: So where did Kaspy go wrong? Perhaps 19. ...b6 would change something? (The idea being, try to move the queen from c5 with gain of time and immediately Rc5 to block it again - but that would be to simple to happen of course).
Mar-23-10  k40cheddar: 23 c5! is a pretty nice move. Not one of the first moves I was thinking of in that position.
Mar-23-10  ROO.BOOKAROO: No doubt that 8. ...e5 is a much better defense than h6. Black retains the castling option and can develop his bishops at leisure. Note that the game is found on YouTube at

  botvinnik64: 23.c5 and 24. Nc4 are the killer moves:
Black gets crushed on the qside, etc.
Mar-23-10  Everett: <botvinnik64> Yes, reminiscent of Lasker's pawn sac and knight maneuver in this game.

Lasker vs Capablanca, 1914

Sep-29-10  paavoh: @randomsac: <Good pun now that I see the game.> Black was sure on the ropes :-) An amazing game by Ivanchuk. Astonishingly, he seemed to be on the ropes himself in the current Olympiad against Jobava (Ivanchuk vs Jobava, 2010) but delivered a knockout punch with 34. Ra6-Ra8!

  sevenseaman: Kasparov is a formidable adversary and normally needs one odd opening to go on the offensive.

Its a pretty game because Ivanchuk goes on creating multiple options for attack relentlessly, giving no respite to the great K.

Dec-22-10  abstract: I like the move 35.Rg4
Mar-18-11  kutuzov: I don't think I'd have the balls to play 23.c5 against someone like Kasparov!

0_0

Mar-18-11  kutuzov: ...actually, now that I think about it, the move isn't THAT audacious.

But still.

Jul-01-11  Moses2792796: Games like this make one realise Ivanchuk's immense talent. If he consistently played his best chess he would be regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, unfortunately he has never been able to live up to his potential on a regular basis.
Jul-05-11  JustAnotherPatzer: brutal demolition of GK in his pomp: phenomenal.

  notyetagm: Is there any other game in which Kasparov gets his ass handed to him like this game?
Nov-25-11  falso contacto: Anand vs Kasparov, 1991 maybe this one.
