| Philidor: <iccsumant: Why did Kasparov resign?>
Because White will stay a light piece ahead, since 15.- fxe4 16. h5+ Kd8 17. xf8+ xf8 18. g5+ xg5 19.xg5+  e8 20. f5 f7 21.g8+ f8 22.e6+ d8 23.e7+ c8 24.xf8#.
Black's best response seems to be 15.- xe4, but White keeps the edge with 16.xe4+ fxe4 17.xe4+e7 18.f5 xg2+ 19.xg2 xg2 20.xg2... |

| strobane: <The king gambit lines are so boring,that when short played kasparov king gambit kasparov play lazy, bored and without interest.> For me the King's Gambit is the most exciting and dangerous of all openings. |

| hedgeh0g: Everyone mentions lines with 17. Qe4+ Be7, but what about 17...Kd8? I see white winning a rook, but not much more. Isn't this better than the other lines for black (It's still losing, just not as much)? |

| D.Observer: The challenger is Short. Therefore, the game is short?! |

| piroflip: I watched this game on English T.V. many years ago. K was quite rightly fuming and disgusted at the end. |

| gazzawhite: How many moves were predetermined? The first 4 moves? |

| WhiteRook48: Why was Kasparov following the losing side of "the immortal game?" Why 3...Qh4+? when it just brings the Queen out early.
Kasparov gets 6 moves into the immortal game. Moral: Never answer 3. Bc4 with 3... Qh4+ when you are playing against Nigel Short. |

| hrvyklly: <WhiteRook48:> It was a thematic game: <gazzawhite: How many moves were predetermined? The first 4 moves> |

| Philidor: I was just going answer <iccsumant>'s question <Why did Kasparov resign?>, correcting the existing, and as I noticed immediately, defective response from... <Philidor>, i.e. myself! (Because if 15...fxe4, 16.xe4?, then 16...xe4.) Awkward, to say the least! Anyway, the second part of my previous response seems reasonable (at least from a laymans perspective), and should serve as a plausible answer: 15...xe4, 16.xe4+ fxe4, 17.xe4+e7, 18.f5 xg2+, 19.xg2 xg2, 20.xg2... In this game Kaspy's not playing better than me, and that says it all! |

| thebribri8: This game should be taken out of the database. |

| WhiteRook48: It would be funny if Kasparov played into the immortal game. |
|
| Dec-23-08 |
| WhiteRook48: thematic games. Why force a great player like Kasparov to play 1...e5 (perfectly sensible, but)
2...exf4 (Still okay)
3...Qh4+!? Why would anyone force Kaspy to bring out the queen early.
4...b5!? Not really a sound game. |
|
| Jan-03-09 |
| WhiteRook48: The game is Short. |
|
| Jan-05-09 |
| WhiteRook48: why should this game be in the database? What's the point in leaving a thematic game that Kaspy was forced to play... |
|
| Jan-07-09 |
| WhiteRook48: wow. 15. Nxe4 really stays up a piece. anyone what's the follow-up to 15...Qg7? |
|
| Jan-13-09 |
| WhiteRook48: did Kasparov make any other mistakes other than the moves he was forced to make, like 3...Qh4+?! and 4...b5? |
|
| Jan-31-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 5...Nf6?! is rather dubious |
|

| scarredwolf11648: Confusing blunders from Kasparov. Very wierd that he lost the game. |
|
| May-01-09 |
| WhiteRook48: after 15 Nxe4 15...fxe4? I am not sure if Kasparov has a defense against the following line:
16. Rxe4+ Bxe4 17 Qxe4+ any move 18 Qxa8 |
|

| AnalyzeThis: <Confusing blunders from Kasparov. Very wierd that he lost the game. > This isn't a real game. They were committed to a certain setup before the game that Kasparov says is bogus. Of course, Adolf Anderssen would be only to happy to play the white pieces in this game. |

| scarredwolf11648: That's true. |
