| Gypsy: Check <tpstar> posting, <Chesspatch>. |

| EyesofBlue: Man, this one baffled me. That and I knew, judging by the "stalemate" theme of the week, how this was going to end (stalemate, of course!). Very Clever! |

| socrates: <Chesspatch> what if Rxg3+ Kh4??? Well?? Well?! Ok, check this out: if 54...Rxg3+ 55.Kh4, black then plays Rg4+! Now white must take the rook or else simply drop the bishop and be down a rook and losing. After 56.Kxg4, black plays the cunning Qd7+! forcing the stalemate through a different implementation of the same tactic!! |

| ezumpf: I saw 54. Rxg3+, but missed the queen sac. I was looking/hoping it was a perpetual check by the queen. Might that have worked? |

| alexandrovm: yes, it's a stalemate also |

| MatrixManNe0: Yay, I'm 5 for 5 this week as well!
I think this being a puzzle was rather easy, but to find this type of trap during a game would be difficult. I found this puzzle rather easy, but I've been reading up on endgame (still!). |

| alexandrovm: But, as I said before, if white pushes the pawn 53. c5-c6, Kasparov wins easily |

| Chesspatch: yes, soc, I saw Gypsy's post. But then, thx for hammering the lesson in. ;) |

| offramp: To be fair to Garrik it should be pointed out that this was one of about 10 played simultaneously against master-strength opposition. |

| patzer2: Instead of 54. Bxe4?? leading to a stalemate, Kasparov should have played the winning 54. Qh4+!! Play might continue 54. Qh4+!! Kg7 55. Qg5+ Kf8 56. Qg8+ Ke7 57. Qe6+ Kf8 58. Qd6+ Kg7 59. c6 Qf6 60. Qxf6+ Kxf6 61. c7 . |

| alexandrovm: Are you shure this is a good line |

| pawntificator: I didn't know Ronald Mcdonald's first name was really Neil... I must say I have gained new respect for his restaurant chain. The Burger King needs to live up to his name and play some world class chess. |

| DoubleCheck: Can someone tell me with an engine or analysis if this is plausible 54... Rxg3
55. Kh4? (to aviod stalemate) ...Qg1
56. Qe6+ Rg6
57. Qxg6+ Qxg6
58. Bxg6 Kxg6
1-0
(pawn promotes)
Thanks. |

| Black Vampire: <DoubleCheck>No, 55.Kh4 doesn´t win, because of 55...Rg4+! 56.Kxg4, Qd7+! (attacking besides the White Queen) 57.Qxe7 and it´s a stalemate!!!, as <socrates> said a few comments ago. |
 |

| Vishy but not Anand: Kaspy's move 54. Bxe4? is a mistake.
54. Qh4+ is better Kg7
55. Qg5+ Kf8
56. c6 bigger chance to win |
 |

| WhiteRook48: bad Kasparov lady |

| WhiteRook48: McDonald's. Are we getting into the French Fries store? |
 |

| WhiteRook48: suicidal queen is a good way to draw |
 |
| Apr-06-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 54. Bxe4? is bad. 54. c6 gets a new queen |
