| Apr-07-05 | | aragorn69: Great combitional game ! Short finds beautiful defensive tactics with 35.Ka1, 37.Qd2!! (he had to anticipate the developements following 37.-Rc2!), 39.Rd8 and 40.Rf1. I'm not sure Kaspy did not miss something at some point. But that cannot be 36.-Qc1+ since obviously 32.Qf4 was played <chessgames.com> as Ray Keene indicated on his page. BTW What was the occasion : a tournament at London ? a match ?? (I don't recall a Kasparov-Short match before the 1993 WC...) |

| Apr-08-05 | | coffee monster: <aragorn69> It was a 6 game rapid match which Kasparov won 4-2. He talks about it here: (under the section 'TAKING ACTION ON ACTIVE CHESS')

 | | Orion Sphere: Just played chess today opposite the hippodrome at a rapid (blitz) event. [technically yesterday cos it's past midnight] |

| Feb-22-08 | | r1xze: I dont understand. Can't Garry force a draw? Where can the white king go? |
|
| Apr-13-08 | | littlefermat: <r1xze: I dont understand. Can't Garry force a draw? Where can the white king go?> White's king is attacking both the rook and bishop. Kasparov will have to lose one of them. |
|
| May-11-08 | | sfairat: There is a pawn grab possible at move 15 or earlier. White can play Nf5, attacking the queen with the bishop and the g7 pawn with the knight. I can't be absolutely positive, but I think it's sound. |
|
| Jul-26-08 | | catfriend: <sfairat> - 15.Nf5?? fails to 15..Bc5 and the exchange, Rg1 is under threat. |

|
| Nov-10-08 | | apexin: This is a good game.Garry was winning out of opening but made some intriguing decisions.18...b4 or Rc8 might have been better.25.b4! stops blacks attack |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | aazqua: A rare win for white against Kasparov Nadjorf. It's remarkable how many offered pieces Short declines in navigating to the win. |
|
| Aug-03-11 | | Mostolesdude: Well done Short; he does look like Harry Potter playing chess though |

 | | hedgeh0g: 33...Qc6? is just a blunder. Kasparov probably thought Rxb4+ was winning in case Nigel played Na5, but he missed that White doesn't have to take the rook. |

 | | Conrad93: If Nd4 left his post, then 26.Bxb4 would work, so in order to make the sacrifice a reality we have to get rid of the knight through: [Event "London"]
[Site "London"]
[Date "1987.??.??"]
[Round "6"]
[White "Nigel Short"]
[Black "Garry Kasparov"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B90"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "

[PlyCount "17"]
[EventDate "1987.??.??"]
26. Rd3 e5 27. Bg3 Qb7 28. Nf5 Bxf5 29. exf5 Bxb4 30. g6 fxg6 31. fxg6 Qb6 32.
Re1 e4 33. Rxe4 Ba3 34. Re1 1-0
Now black has a big advantage.
Tell me what you think. |

|
Oct-20-12
| | KingG: After the game, Kasparov said he could have won with 31...Bxb4, giving the variation 31...Bxb4 32.cxb4 Bxe4 33.Qxe4 Rxb4+. |
|
| Dec-02-12 | | fifthsymphony: Assuming Short didn't instead opt for Nxc6. |
