 | | MrMelad: Ouch! Briliant chess. Kasparov at his best! |
 |
| Jul-06-06 | | woodenbishop: Awesome chess! Garry kicks ass. |
|
| Oct-29-06 | | positionalbrilliancy: wow, my mouth literally dropped open at the end of this game. |

Surely that should be Nxf6# |

 | | keypusher: <ianD> Black can play 37...Qxf6. |
|
| Feb-07-07 | | 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

| Mar-12-07 | | 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. |
|
| Jun-08-08 | | ToTheDeath: Classic kitchen sink attack, one of Garry's best. |
|
| Apr-05-09 | | 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. |

| Feb-13-10 | | remolino: This is crazy. I think the scariest move to face was 34.h3. That is like saying "I am now preparing the final sword for the final blow". I'd be shocked. I played in a simul against Kasparov in Mexico City. He had a won position on the kingside, but he first took 5 moves to seal the queenside before he proceeded with the attack. All I could do was watch the preparations like another spectator. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: <remolino>, Kasparov's precautions appear to be a sign of respect. He didn't proceed willy-nilly with his attack, but played a bit of defense first. Sounds like he took you seriously. If that's any consolation. |
|
| Mar-19-10 | | Badmojo: Any player in the history of chess use his knights better than Kasparov? |
|
| Mar-19-10 | | TheMacMan: kasparovs games are so stale and boring! |
|
| Mar-19-10 | | abcpokerboy: <Badmojo>, if you like Kasparov's use of knights, observe the last moves of this game against Leko. I wonder if one piece (other than a queen) has moved so many times consecutively to force the resignation of an opponent. Kasparov vs Leko, 2001 |

 | | Garech: Great game and great choice for GOTD, very instructive stuff. |
|
| Mar-19-10 | | drpoundsign: good pun but kinda gross. Richard Ramirez likes AC/DC not chess |
|
| Mar-19-10 | | drpoundsign: I studied with Lev Alburt but he is expensive and emphasizes endgames whic I don't survive to play |
|

 | | patzer2: Kasparov could have won positionally with 23. Bb3  . However, he chose instead to spring a deep and wonderfully coordinated attack on the weakened castled position with 23. Bxg5!!This finishing attack is a beauty! |
