Yes, that variation results in the truly incredible position shown below:

Black simply threatens 45 ... Rxh3# and White is powerless to prevent it!

White cannot even move his g2-knight to make luft for his king or defend the h3-mating focal point because it is pinned to the g-file by the threat of an <Arabian mate> on g1 (45 Nf4 Rg1#).

Truly unbelievable.

  notyetagm: Black's (Kasparov's) f3-knight is truly all-powerful in these fantastic variations.
Apr-28-06   stanleys: Another beautiful line,found by Kasparov:(After 42.Kh1 Bxe3!)White could also try 43.Ne6 but then Black has 43...Rxf2 44.gxf3 Rf1+ 45.Kh2 exf3!46.Nxg5 Bf4 mate
Apr-28-06   OlimpBase: the game was played at 3rd U26 World Team Championship (Garry's only tournament of this kind)
May-05-06   offramp: 43..Rdg2 is such a good move.

Hope you enjoy it - it is a good demonstration of playing with the isolated d pawn.

Dec-07-07   herrahuu: Kasparov himself gave 35.f3 Ng3 36.Bxg6 that wards off blacks attack.

Wow, these beautiful combinations just keep on coming, all based upon the extreme <PIECE ACTIVITY> of the Black pieces.

Thanks

  Once: Some days Chessgames.com makes me despair - Trollish posts, my grandmaster was better than yours, FIRST! and "I solved a sunday puzzle cos I guessed the first move".

But other days I can see precisely why I come here. This game is astonishing. Kasparov's fantastic piece activity makes the white queen look like a spectator. And as the kibitzing shows, there are layers upon layers of complexity hidden in the notes.

The final position would make a humorous puzzle of the day - it's not easy to work out the win even after white resigns.

Thanks, CG, you've made me smile!

Aug-16-08   DarthStapler: I never said I solved them, just that I got the first move
Aug-16-08   Longbrow: One word: Relentless.
The eventual refutation of White's repeated attempts to find an effective home for his minor pieces. Black's insidiously strong Knight post at e4, which in seeming desperation White had to remove at all costs. An excellent display of piece activity, pressure, and initiative that I need to study more of-this is an instructive game for me.

<johnlspouge> Looks like you have a new named Mate to add to your collection :)

Aug-16-08   mistreaver: Garry played this when he was only 18 years old =)

  kevin86: A great victory by Kasparov! There are several mates in the variations-and brilliant at that. Ironic,since the game ends in resignation and not mate.

Since this is my 4444th message and the number 8 is in the news-I'll leave with this altrustic thought.

Please HELP Someone in need.

Aug-16-08   drpoundsign: WOW! If HE was working on Nuke fusion we'd be driving Deuterium cars. No more Saudi oil!!
Aug-16-08   popyseed: hi all, why white didn't try in 44Nxg2?

  Once: <popyseed> 44. Nxg2? Nd2+ 45. any Nxb3 and black is way ahead on material (exchange plus two pawns). Black also threatens Nc5 and the a pawn is not long for this world.
