| whiteshark: Who's that woodpusher playing the white pieces ?? Was this earlier than his phatastic win at the Ol<ympiad game against Joel ? |

| Eggman: Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1994 is another 3 Queens game, though this time the player (Karpov) with the 2 Queens comes out on the losing end. |

| Benzol: Did the pressure of having to win this game get to Kasparov here? |

| Open Defence: its kind of surreal to read a 5 year old post of mine |

| Oliphaunt: <TalEl> 15.Bb2 still looks to be pretty grim for white after ...d4. Pb4 is very weak. |

| Hesam7: 23. Bg5 looks like a major improvement for White:

| HeMateMe: Started playing this without knowing who won--just assumed it was another Kaspy win. I kept looking for the finishing touch, a forced winning line, facing 2 queens! And then it was over.... |

| HeadCrunch: Call me Mr Simpleton but surely attempting to stop Black from queening would have been a better strategy? Perhaps there simply is no way to do this ? But then again white is simply up a piece here :) I mean why resign right? |

| SugarDom: ehem, ehem, takes a bow...
<HeHateMe>, the title of the GOTD "Chess is Mental Torture" is a Garry Kasparov quote... |

| SugarDom: In this game, Garry was speaking from experience..hehehe |

| Paraconti: Crush or not, the final position is hugely unsatisfying because one only knows black will win eventually. There's no mate threats, still lots of play left even in a lost position, and no estetic value except white got outplayed in an unclear, complicated opening. |

| tivrfoa: after 21. Bxc2 I think white is better. What would be your reply? |
|

|
| SugarDom: Sharp and complicated, but no aesthetic value you say.... What do you want, a boring drawmaster? |

| skumarav: Think like played with kid.!
allowing c pawn d pawn with an awkward progressive fierce.... Good guico piano ! by lautier.. |

| kevin86: What a massacre! Kaspy with an extra queen-wow! |
|
| Oct-26-09 |
| Jim Bartle: Not that I don't make the same mistake myself at times, but kevin, you should take a more careful look. |

| YetAnotherAmateur: <tivrfoa>: 21. ... Rxa7 seems reasonably good. It allows white to capture the d pawn, but not much more than that. After some more material is traded off the board, you're looking at black with a rook and a pair of passed pawns versus 2 minor pieces, which tilts in black's favor. |

| kilv: 4. a3 (Nf6?) then 5. b4 would have solved a lot....
It would have freed up the Queens Knight for a start. |
|
| Oct-26-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 5 d4 would have been better... |
|
| Oct-26-09 |
| Elrathia Kingi: 23.Bg6 looks like it balances material after ...Qxf1 24.Qxf1 hxg6 25.Qxb5. I guess Kasparov thought he saw a better attack. Incidentally, didn't Kasparov demonstrate that the Evan's gambit is winning for white? Was that some time after this game, or did he just feel like doing something different? |

| Jimfromprovidence: 20 Qe4 looks very playable, threatening 21 Qh7#, as well as covering c2.

| tivrfoa: <YetAnotherAmateur>Thanks. But it would not be so easy for black as 21. Rxa8 :] |
