Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-11-04  Cornwallis: interesting how this transposes into a grunfeld exchange
Aug-10-04  acirce: Very important game for Grünfeld theory.
Jun-18-05  aw1988: <acirce> Good point. Wonderful game, showing fully the quotation of the masters.
Oct-14-05  BabyJ: I don't understand 21...Qc4? here.
Chop the queens and then play ...a5,
or at least play 21...Qe6! - preventing the g6-sac (and threatening ...Nc3!). Not very good from Gazz.
Oct-20-05  Petrocephalon: <BabyJ> You have a curious habit of awarding question marks to the moves of world champions, while awarding exclamation marks to your own.

Chop queens at move 21 and the a-pawn will drop, while 21..Qe6 22.Rb8 Rxb8 23.Qxb8+ Kh7 24.Qb7 Nc3 25.Re1 doesn't look all that appealing.

21..Qc4 on the other hand threatens to overload the white queen, forcing the g6-sac, giving Black the draw.

Jan-19-06  aw1988: 23. Rc1 wins.
Apr-05-06  Hobgoblin: <acirce> What a fantastic game.Toe to toe stood the titans of modern chess- no quarter asked and none given.
Jan-10-08  acirce: For 14.Bxe7 and 15.Rxb7 compare with 11.Rxb7 in Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000 - Kramnik simply asks "Ok, why can't I just take this pawn?" The difference is that here Kasparov gives a better answer. But 15..Nd7 might be even more convincing as had already been played in the game given below, not in this database, and where Black was soon better. I'd guess it was unknown to both players.

So maybe this one wasn't such a "[v]ery important game for Grünfeld theory"
