| meloncio: I watched this 5º game of the match at live in Sevilla, my hometown, with some friends. The last ten moves were made so quickly that we couldn't follow the game on the wallboard, because it was delayed. Suddenly we saw they shook hands and talked in a (seemingly) friendly way about the position. There was so much confusion in the public that we were all asking, "¿But what happened, it's a draw or who has won?". After a few minutes we knew the bitter truth: Our hero, Kasparov, was lost. |

| WMD: Kasparov was short of time and missed 37...Ra1! with an equal position. Karpov, who enjoyed a large time advantage from the opening, appears to have been playing on Kasparov's time trouble with 34.Qc2 when he should have preferred the simpler 34.Rxa6 Qxa6 35.Qb3+ picking up the rook on d1 and remaining a pawn to the good. |

| Jim Bartle: I don't understand. Kasparov DID play 37...Ra1 and resigned a move later. |

| csmath: Kasparov made errors with 33. ... Rd1 and 36. ... Qd7 and then a blunder with 37. ... Ra1. Time was apparently a factor.
Karpov had a significantly better opening but he wasted it away and by move 20 it was very much a draw, in fact with a black initiative. The critical variation would be 33. ... h5 34. Qc4 ... Qxc4, 35. Rxc4 ... Nxg3, 36. Kxg3 ... a5 with a draw. |

| meloncio: <Jim Bartle> I think WMD meant 36. ... Ra1!; thus the queen in d6 protected the a6 pawn. <csmath><Time was apparently a factor> Sure! I was there ... |

| meloncio: Correction: I mean ...the black queen in e6 protected the a6 pawn.. |

| WMD: <<Jim Bartle> I think WMD meant 36. ... Ra1!; thus the queen on e6 protected the a6 pawn.> Quite so. Silly me. |

Certainly, I would rather be black after that. |

| Jim Bartle: Very good video analysis by Leontxo and Calvo, focusing on the disaster for black if 25. Rxb5, and how Kasparov missed 36...Ra1. |

| apexin: what compensation does black have for a pawn after sacrificed on move 13? |

| Knight13: <a blunder with 37. ... Ra1.> 37... Ka7 is not good enough. |
