Sep-03-02		bishop: Kasparov's king's knight goes on a journey to a4 and then takes the enemy b-pawn, it cannot be captured because of mate in 2. Black's 20th move puts a stop to White's counterplay.

Feb-16-04		zorro: 20...f5 is double exclam!!

Feb-17-04		drukenknight: why isnt 18 Bf4?

Feb-17-04		Honza Cervenka: <DK> Good question. It can force an immediate draw: 18.Bf4 Qf6 19.Bg5 Nxd3 20.cxd3 Qe5 (20...Qg6? 21.Nf4 ) 21.Bf4 etc. or white can try also anything else.

Feb-17-04		Benjamin Lau: It was a rapid game.

Feb-17-04		drukenknight: well I did see it rapidly. I wonder if they could have found all those moves in a short time?

Feb-18-04		Honza Cervenka: Maybe white believed that he can gain more playing 18.f4 but 18.Bf4 is certainly a better move.

May-30-05		ThomYorke: Impressive game, Kasparov had many possibilities to checkmate. Nothing could stop him...what should we expect from a 2850 rated?

Jun-09-06		spirit: is 39.Bd4+ blunder or frustration?

Jun-09-06		aw1988: Probably frustration, but in any case Grischuk is getting mated.

Jul-03-06		spirit: then he should have resigned!

Oct-28-06		Sacred Knight: Grischuk is another great player that has a really bad score against Kasparov. Even after several games, Kasparov is undefeated against him, he won six games and five ended in draw.

Oct-28-06		setebos: Grischuk should have beaten Kasparov at least once. I believe he is at least as talented as Radjavob.

Apr-16-12		screwdriver: Another victim to Kasparov's Najdorf.

Kasparov on Kasparov: Part I
