Apr-17-04		WMD: A superb game by the young Kasparov. 21.Qe1 is a star move and indicative of what separates a great player from lesser mortals. In the final position, 24...Kxh7 25.Qb1+ leads to mate. On 24...Nxh7 25. Qe4 Nf8 26.Qg4+ also mates.

Apr-17-04		Shadout Mapes: Black should've played Bf8 sometime after move 17.

Aug-02-06		gambitfan: I have White and my Brazilian opponent decided to play the semi-Tarrasch... I just played 6 e3... According to Chess Opening Explorer's statistics, my winning chances are relatively high... aren't they ? 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 c5 5. cxd5 Nxd5 6. e3

Mar-15-08		Whitehat1963: After 1. d4, poor Begun is half done.

Jan-23-09		WhiteRook48: Black had begun to realize he was done

Jul-15-09		HAPERSAUD: this position is reminiscent of the knight exchange lines of the rubinstein french, what segeri begun kasparov finished! excellent opening transposition

Mar-02-13		HeMateMe: Nice. White can give up both Bishops and win.
