| chesscrazy: <EmperorAtahualpa> Oh yeah forgot about the queen. Thanks! |
 |

| EmperorAtahualpa: <bob000> Probably not, now that half of the kibitzers have seen the game already. :) |

| offramp: It is interesting that from move 13 to move 25 Kasparov has the possibility to place a knight that can't be opposed on the protected square d6 - but he never does. |
|
| Dec-19-05 |
| EmperorAtahualpa: <offramp> yes that is indeed remarkable! On the other hand, the f-pawn is quite well protected, so perhaps the knight has no real purpose on d6. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: By the way can someone please explain 34.h3 to me please? thank you. |

| keypusher: <emperor> it takes care of black's threat to trade off white's attacking rook with ...Rc1+ and ...Rf1+. Things may not have been completely clear to Kasparov after 34 Rxf6+ Nf7. Kasparov annotates this game in <The Test of Time> -- does anyone have a copy? Mine is in storage, unfortunately. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: <Things may not have been completely clear to Kasparov after 34 Rxf6+ Nf7.> Right! That makes perfect sense to me, thanks, <keypusher>! |

| Warrush: I Cant believe palantik got into a windmill, that just tore him apart. Good playing by Kasparov. Not everyday you get to see such a nice 2 knight combination like the one played in this game. |

| Castle In The Sky: This game is featured in Lev Alburt's course volume 3 "Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player" Alburt uses it to emphasize how initiative can be superior to material advantage. |

| MrMelad: Ouch! Briliant chess. Kasparov at his best! |

| ianD: Chessgames:
Surely that should be Nxf6# |

|
| keypusher: <ianD> Black can play 37...Qxf6. |
|

| ianD: User: keypusher Well spotted I must have been in stupid mode!!
I should stick to pre-midnight kibitzing. |

| keypusher: <ianD> Don't apologize, we've all done worse (and in our own games, too!). Unfortunately, your oversight is not bad enough to show world champion potential. Deep Fritz vs Kramnik, 2006

| EL BE: What's wrong with 34.Rxf6+? |
|
| Mar-13-07 |
| nescio: <EL BE: What's wrong with 34.Rxf6+?> I don't suppose there is anything wrong with it if you are able to calculate all the possibilities after 34.Rxf6+ Bxf6 35.Nxf6 Rc1+ 36.Kf2 Rf1+ 37.Kg3 Rxf6. Kasparov certainly had the ability, but he may have been in time trouble. Anyway, as Black was powerless, 34.h3 was a practical decision by White to avoid a possible onslaught on his own king. |
|
| Mar-13-07 |
| EL BE: After 37...Rxf6: 38.Qxh8+,Ke7; 39.exf6+, Kd7; 40.Qxd8, Kxd8; 41.f7+ and black would have to resign at that point. |

| Open Defence: <very often when we count the pieces attacking the King we ignore the pawns - G Kasparov> wow! that never occured to me until i watched that video... sounds simple.. but.. wow! |
|

| gauer: Premature was 34 Nxf6 due to 34 ... Rc1+ 35 Kf2 Rf1+ 36 Kg3 Rxf3+ 37 gxf3 Bxf6 38 exf6 Qe1+ 39 Kh3 Bc8+ 40 Kg2 Qd2+, & only drawn. With 34 h3, guarding the King, white retains all threats. |

| ToTheDeath: Classic kitchen sink attack, one of Garry's best. |

| Endrainbow: Can someone please explain to me why on 13, Black doesn't cxd4? Thanks |

| tpstar: <Endrainbow> Welcome to the site. =) If 13 ... cxd4 White would probably play 14. Bg5:
click for larger viewNow if 14 ... Qe8 or 14 ... Qc7 White has 15. cxd4 with full control of the center, or 14 ... Qd7!? 15. Nf6+ Bxf6 16. Bxf6 and Black's King will get killed on the weak dark squares. Go back one page using the <Earlier Kibitzing> prompt to find a post by <sucaba> on 12-16-05 which discusses 13 ... cxd4. |
