Kasparov vs 5+5 (British/Americans).

GK + British in Limehouse Studios, Americans somewhere in NYC, 1984-07-01.

GK scored 8.5/10.

Nov-09-15  ndg2: Needed a while to see 24..Nxb7 25.Re4 with unavoidable mate Bh3#
Nov-09-15  zanzibar: Kasparov getting revenge for the previous year:

Kasparov vs S Conquest, 1983

* * * * *

<ndg2> Black could make it a little more complicated. E.g. one line I walked through has Black trying to defend the knight and save the rook, trying to hold material. It leads to mate:

<24...Rd5 25.Nxc5 Rxc5 26.Re4 Bh7 27.Bh3+ Kg6 28.Re5 f6 29.Bf5+ Kf7 30.Nd6+ Kg8 31.Re8#>

25...Kf4 avoids the mate, but what's the fun in that?

In the actual game Black could have played 27...Nd5 as well, but thought it just loses a knight, and "What's the fun in that?".

Raymond Keene wrote about the game at the time, and gives 24.Nb7!! two marks.

<22...h5? He had to play 22...h6. The text permits his K to be driven into the firing line.

24.Nb7!! A very brilliant move which knocks the props out of Black's defence.

26.Kg3! Again threatening mate.>
