  refutor: <why play Nge2 instead of Nf3?>

maybe if 3. ...d6 or 3. ...e5 White didn't like the position.

Nov-09-08   Antonius Blok: I see that the Ne6 sac is the key of the game, and the touch of genius by Kasparov

Now, what was the line after 24... fxe6 that we, wretched humans (compare to Garry) can se, I found this line, I don't know if there's a refutation, so I wait for your comments:

24... fxe6 25.Qxf6+ Rg7 26.Rd7 Re8 27.
Bf5! followed by Rg2!

Any objection?

Jan-03-09   WhiteRook48: Kramnik's king is terrified of all of Kasparov's pieces.

  Coleman: This game is such an attacking treat. What a nightmare for Kramnik.
Mar-03-09   anjyplayer: After 12. Nc2 ... Bg5-h6 is the right move for black.
Mar-03-09   anjyplayer: Then on move 19th kramnik must have exchanged queens.
Mar-20-09   Kasparov Fan01: Can someone please make this game of the day?? It's outstanding.

  brucejavier: one the best games ive ever see, and still hasnt won game of the day. Chessgames i vote for the this!!
Apr-08-09   Eduardo Leon: <LivBlockade>, after 31. Bf5+?? Kh6! 32. fxe8=Q Ne2+ 33. Kc2 Qd3+ 34. Kb3 Qc4+ 35. Kc2 Qd3+, draw. If white avoids the repetition, he will suddenly lose the game: 33. Kb1?? Qd1+ 34. Ka2 Bd5+, and mate in two moves.
Apr-12-09   WhiteRook48: 36 Bd7+ is a nice deflection

  ROADDOG: <minasina> Thanks, no comprende how to link like that.
Jul-02-09   minasina: Oh, <ROADDOG>, it is only copy and paste thing! When you are watching a YouTube video you see up there on your monitor the browser line (URL, Uniform Resource Locator) like <http://www.youtube.com/something>;. You move your mouse cursor upon that line and make a left mouse button click so that the whole line get highlighted (usually with blue color), then you click the right mouse button and a menu will be opened, and in there you move your mouse cursor upon <Copy> and click your left mouse button. It seems that nothing else happens but the menu disappears. Anyway that specific browser line (URL) is now copied in your computer memory and you can go whatever page and paste that line wherever you put your cursor. When the cursor is in the right place you click your right mouse button and the menu will be opened and then you move the mouse cursor upon <Paste> and click left mouse button. OK?
Jul-24-09   newzild: After 24...Rg6! 25.Qf4 (hitting the Rb8) black is actually a little better. But Kramnik's response to the attack on his rook, 25...Re8?!, was dubious. Better was 25...Bd5! with advantage, according to Fritz.

Incredibly complicated game. My head was spinning the first time I played through it.

  ROADDOG: <minasina> Thanks for the info, I suppose you can teach an old, URL challenged dog new tricks.
Jul-28-09   minasina: <ROADDOG>, You ar welcome! I Hope my English was understandable. I am a native fenno-ugric speaker myself.
Jul-28-09   TheChessGuy: <minasina> Really? Which one? Those are really interesting languages.
Jul-28-09   minasina: I am a Finn, born and lived my whole life in Finland.

BTW, this seems to be quite good, if someone is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-...

  ROADDOG: <minasina> No problem with your English, in fact your explantation was excellent. I put it to the test on a game by Lomineishvili vs Pogonina 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIjE...
I believe it worked. Thanks again.
Jul-31-09   minasina: It works. Great! I see you already put it here:

M Lomineishvili vs N Pogonina, 2009

...and thanks for compliment.

Aug-11-09   zatara: I think it's games like this that led kramnik to the "positional" side of chess..hehe..anyway..unbelievable game!
