Nov-27-03		Spitecheck: Perhaps this is the game I referred to however, I'm not sure one would classify Kasparov as losing a rook here. Spitecheck

Jul-26-04		alexandrovm: lol, Kasparov didn't lost a rook, he sac the piece. Is not the same thing

Oct-25-04		themindset: that sac does not look sound at all. he needed quite a bit of help from white to make it work.

Mar-09-07		TraggikEndings: Kasparov did not make a sound sac. He fell for a trap set up by Ljubojevic. Expecting Kasparov to resign, Ljubojevic fell into time trouble and blew the game.

Nov-07-07		Operation Mindcrime: This game is mentioned as an example of a missed zwischenzug in Andy Soltis' The Inner Game of Chess. In his account, Kasparov reported that he wanted to play 1...xg2 2. xg2 xf3?!, with a strong attack against g2. However, as soon as he had made the move xg2, he realised that on xf3, there would follow 3. xf3 xf3 and then the in-between move 4. c3! wins for White, leaving him ahead in material with Black's attack burnt out.

Oct-06-09		tivrfoa: <Operation Mindcrime> yeah, this sequence would be better for white. But the sequence that Kasparov played was very good I think. What black could do after 30. ... Qg7+?

Sep-18-10		Jim Bartle: Seirawan wrote Ljubojevic "was made to look like a paralyzed rabbit."
