Jun-24-06		spirit: 32.kh1...i dont understand this move

Jun-24-06		euripides: <spirit> I don't know but I guess Kasparov wanted to play exf6 or possibly e6 without allowing Black to force the queens off with Qd6. White seems to have some advantage and is playing for a win at that stage.

Jun-28-06		spirit: aha...

Jan-27-07		Max Lange: 26.e6! is critical and missed by Kasparov. This game is fun to analyse and complete misanalysed by Seirawan in his otherwise interesting 1991 book "Five Crowns" (pre computer!). Other moves criticized by Seirawan turn out to be optimal (according to Fritz). Worth playing on your PC.

Aug-06-08		keypusher: <whiteshark> May 27. Qxe6+ Kh8 28. Bxg6 hxg6 29. Qxg6 threatening 30. Qh5+ is better? If 29...Bd6 30. Nf3 seems like a strong answer. I don't see anything immediately crushing after 29....Be7, but White is a pawn up.

Aug-06-08		whiteshark: <keypusher: <May 27. Qxe6+ Kh8 28. Bxg6 hxg6 29. Qxg6...>> That looks better. However, there is a pretty zwischenzug <28...Bd5!> with <29.Qg4 hxg6 30.Qxg6 Qc6>, offering queen's trade-off. This is very similar type of position as known in Marshall Gambit of RuyLopez, when black is a pawn down but his -pair gives enough compensation. click for larger view e.g. <31.Qxc6 Bxc6 32.Nf3 Bb7 33.Ng5 Rd3 34.Re1 Bc6> = / click for larger view

Jun-30-09		Knight13: <keypusher: <whiteshark> May 27. Qxe6+ Kh8 28. Bxg6 hxg6 29. Qxg6 threatening 30. Qh5+ is better?> 28...Bxg2.

Jun-30-09		talisman: that mouse (like santa) is everywhere.

Oct-23-10		nelech: according to Kasparov , 27 e6! wins
