Oct-18-05 | | Poisonpawns: gm 9 1983 canidates qf The match is over at this point and beliavsky cannot catch up.So he switches from his beloved Queens Gambit to the old Benoni for a game and gets trashed 15 moves of theory to end up in a clearly worse position.On move 29.Rxg3?? Beliavsky must have seen a ghost,because what he thought he saw was not there and he resigned fast.Great match for Kasparov on the road to the championship.I think his next oppenent was Gm Victor (the terrible) Korchnoi. |

 | | Fusilli: The natural square for Black's queenside Knight in the Benoni is c7 (to support the thematic P-b5 advance), not b4, where it basically does nothing, as this game is an example of. |

Dec-15-18 | | saturn2: 31 Rg1 offers unnecessarily the exchange but if 31...Nxg1 black is still lost after the terrible blunder before. |

 | | HeMateMe: thanks Andrew! It takes a great game to produce a good pun. There's nothing better than Kaspy in the playoffs. |

Dec-15-18 | | ChessHigherCat: According to SF, offering the exchange was the best move for white (+5.34 (24 ply) 31.Rg1 Rg8 32.Qd2 Qf6 33.Bd7 Nxg1+ 34.Rxg1 Rg6) and it's bad for black to accept the exchange immediately (+5.94 (23 ply) 31...Nxg1 32.Qxg1 Rg8 33.Qh2 Kh7 etc. |

Dec-15-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <Poisonpawns: ...On move 29.Rxg3?? Beliavsky must have seen a ghost,because what he thought he saw was not there and he resigned fast.> I was thinking the same. AB just missed something in his calculation, or saw something that wasn't. |

 | | keypusher: To be fair, with Rh1 coming up, it makes no difference what Black does, e.g. 29....Rg6 30.Rh1 Ng5 31.Qd2 followed by doubling rooks and h6 caves in. Kasparov crossed Beliavsky up starting with his second move, preventing the sharp position Black needed. It’s not easy to have to play for a win with Black against Kasparov. |

Nov-13-20 | | fisayo123: Beliavsky in a hopeless match situation down 5-3 goes against his positional playing style and goes for broke in what looks like a suspicious benoni. Kasparov plays perfect chess and wipes him off the board. Beliavsky is the 3rd best player in the world at this time. Kasparov easily crushes him 6-3 in their Candidates match at just 19. |
