Oct-26-04		themindset: apparently there was great debate over the move 30...e5 with many GMs claiming during the post mortem that 30...Be5 would have held. Kasparov studied that night, and in the next round of tournament reached this same position again, and his opponent played 30...Be5 which he promptly answered with 31.Rc5 and won about 15 moves later.

Oct-26-04		offramp: I remember that... this is the latter game, Kasparov vs Dorfman, 1981.

Oct-26-04		alexandrovm: Kasparov's D44 novelties with white are very interesting!

Nov-08-05		alexandrovm: I played this opening for the first time yesterday night with many interesting complications during the middle game, and also I took the pawn with the bishop instead with the knight in the 9th move (because I forgot the line). This is one of Garry's best games...
