Apr-26-07		MrMelad: What a game! Kasparov finds a way to get rid of the annoing f3 pawn and take hold of the position with 30.g4! that seems to come out of the imagination of a drunken Irish at first glance.. Beliavsky recovers and the position becomes very much unclear until Beliavsky "forgets" to eliminate white's two bishops advantage with 37..Bxc3 and both players enter a very complicated position. Then Kasparov demonstrates his ability to understand any position and goes for an ending (using his strong bishops) where white gets his queen faster. I would love to see a deep analysis of this great battle that seems to favor white from the first move!
