  tpstar: White has a Pawn and a bind, yet what's the winning line?
Oct-13-04  miniSkirt: throwing away 1.2 million$ at kasparov!! outrageous! prague reunification agreement! @#$%$#... kasparov shd play with players of a comparable stature... when was the last time he faced kramnik/anand/leko/moro/adams... getting him to play with a 2650 player!! they might as well invite kasparov over for lunch and hand him over the $1.2 million

Actually no (forced) line is there. Short made the illegal 24... 0-0-0 here and after seeing it's illegal he resigned (the only legal king move, 24...Kd7, loses, though I have to confess I don't understand why ;))
