| Feb-28-02 | | knight: 32.d5!! the move of the tournament. |
 |
| Jan-09-03 | | evertoexcel: Indeed, 32. d5 is outstanding |
 |
| Jul-08-04 | | tomh72000: A nice novelty (18.Ra2) by Garry too. |
 |
| Feb-06-06 | | GlennOliver: 32.d5! Bxc5!? |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: I wonder ... does Rybka find 32.d5!! - as in this game? (My Fritz 9.0 did not, even after a couple of minutes 'thinking' time.) |
 |
| Jun-22-06 | | Jilted Rook: 32.d5 is more worthy of !?
In the same way that one shouldn't revere computer analysis one shouldn't get one's prayer mat out for a bold move by Kasparov.
Much better was the calm 32...cd with a probable draw. Nevertheless d5 is an enterprising and practical OTB choice, all the more so for Micky calling Kasparov's bluff... |

 | | euripides: what does Black play after <32...cd> 33 c6 ? |
 |
| Jun-22-06 | | Jilted Rook: 33...Na5 |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | blingice: <Jilted Rook> This is probably ultra-ignorant, but what does your notation of "32...cd" mean? |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | Jilted Rook: <blingice:> 32...c6xd5 |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: Jilted Rook, after 32..cd doesn't white still get the dangerous passed pawn though with 33. c6 |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | Jilted Rook: <Hannibal> see above 33...Na5 |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: Jilted Rook, sorry about that, missed the prior note. Ok 33. Na5 34 Bd7! |
 |
| Jun-23-06 | | HannibalSchlecter: on second thought I don't like it after 34Nxc6! followed by Rc8 |

The result is not pretty obvious to me!
What allows to say that the game is over ?
Material advantage is not huge for White 1 against  and I do not see the follow-on which would permit a White Pawn to queen... Npt obvious !! |

 | | gambitfan: That is a BISHOP ENDGAME :  +  // +   
The material advantage for the stronger side is 1.25 point ( //  ) 47... a4 48 xa4
47... b5 48 xb5 b4 to protect a5 49 e8 to look after h6 White King comes along the white f1-a6 diagonal to take a5 which cant move ! 47... f4 48 d3 ... Nothing can prevent White King from reaching f5 to take g5 47... g4 48 h3xg4 f5xg4 49 f3xg4 g5 50 f3 the only remaining White Pawn remains on the white square g4 and cannot therefore be bothered by the dark coloured Black Bishop... h6 cannot move without leaving the protection of g5
47... h7, g7 48 xg5
47... d4, g1 .... what cant prevent white ing to walk on the white squares e2-d3-c4-d5, then e5-f5 and then take g5 with d8 |
