  notyetagm: <Gazza typically begins his attacks with a pawn sacrifice.> Here it is 17 ... d4!, opening lines (a8-h1 diagonal, e-file) to the White king stranded in the center.

  notyetagm: I really like the move 19 ... Bxf3!. Garry wants to play ... Qh4+ but that will be met by g2-g3, blocking the e1-h4 diagonal. <The point of 19 ... Bxf3! 20 gxf3 is to deflect the g-pawn from the g-file so that it can no longer block the critical e1-h4 diagonal.> Of course, White cannot play 20 Qxf3?? due to the discovered check 20 ... Nxd4+. So at the cost of his light-squared bishop Garry has completely demolished the enemy king's pawn shield . Garry sacs a piece on move 19 and White resigns before his 31st move.

Apr-26-09   laskereshevsky: This game is part of a friendly/training match Between those players tooked part in Baku AT THE END OF THE 1977...

The only other game from the match i ever saw is the below one....

Kasparov vs E Magerramov, 1977

The match's final result and the others game's moves, as i know, is still a matter of secret between the Protagonistes involved...(players, trainers etc.....)
