| Aug-21-17 | | Toribio3: I like this game. Kasparov is a tactical monster during his prime in the chess arena. |

 | | Petrosianic: <RandomVisitor> It's better to discuss the game than paste in pages and pages of computer analysis that nobody's going to look at because they can generate it themselves and look at it easier when they do. |
|
Mar-29-18
| | Petrosianic: Along with
Botvinnik vs Tal, 1961 this is another instance where a player won a game in which a draw was good enough to become champion. But this one is easier to understand, because a) There are bad feelings between the players, increasing the odds that Kasparov would like to add insult to injury with another meaningless win. b) The game is decided quickly and suddenly with 40. e5?? In one move, Black's accepting a draw changes from being a Smart Move to being an Act of Charity. After e5, Black ends Rook and Bishop up, and wins pretty effortlessly. A draw offer by White would be pointless. Sacking the piece for three pawns with 36. Rxd6 looks reasonable enough, although White never seems close to a win afterwards. He certainly shouldn't <lose>, with Black down to only his h pawn. Apart from that, the game seems sharp all the way though, but White doesn't seem close to a win earlier. People are suggesting 23. f5. Maybe. That does seem to be White's best unplayed chance. I'm not sure why Black didn't play f5 long before he did, in fact. The other big question is whether the Najdorf was really the right opening to play. In a Must Win situation, it should be White's job to complicate the game. |

| | Petrosianic: Hard to see anything for White at the moment of the blunder. If 40. g6 h6.
If 40. Rxe8+ Qxe8, then what? There are some back rank threats with Bd4+ and Rb1+ if the Knight moves. If 41. Nd1 Na3. 42. Qd3 to cover the Knight, b1 and a3 squares. White's still got 3 pawns for the Bishop, but his King is draftier and the pawns are kind of discombobulated. 42...Rb1. Black has to be careful not to get the Knight trapped, but really White's in no danger of winning and the time control has been reached. |
|
| Apr-30-18 | | Albanius: 35 Qd3 may be an improvement on 35 Qb6
Black can't discover on Nb3 with 35..Bxe4?
because 36 Bxe4 Qxb3 37 Bxh7+ Kf8 38 Qxc2 wins a piece.But if 35..Nb4 36 Qxd6 hits Nb4, so the Qs go off with W up two Ps. I don't see sufficient compensation. |
|
| Apr-30-18 | | Howard: Keep in mind that in this ultra-crucial game, Karpov couldn't afford a draw. A draw was basically the same as a loss. Perhaps 35.Qd3 looked a bit too drawish to him. |
|
| Apr-30-18 | | Olavi: 35.Qd3 Qa7+ 36.Kh1 Ne3. |
