| Udit Narayan: A game with iconic and historical significance... |
 |

| WhiteRook48: Funny...Black could've played ...d3 g8Q d2, when the d pawn also promotes |
|

| crwynn: in such positions you can normally assume White has a mate, he has 2 queens on an open board, and the move. After your suggestion the quickest is probably Qc8. |
|

| WhiteRook48: Ok, ok, but 27. Qf7 seems to lose time moving the Queen back to the square it just came from. |

| hackmate: <just a kid> What's the book called? Is it still in print? How many pages? |
|

| WhiteRook48: Here's an analysis.
4...Nxd7 is better than ...Qxd7.
10...Qe6!! is good since it forks white's c and e pawn. However Black messes up with 11...Qxe4!? dropping a Rook with 12. Nc7+. Here some members chose a move that did not get the King out of check. Weird... the true King's Gambit.
For some reason Wikipedia says 15. Nc3 is good.
Then 23...Bxb2? No need to pretend that you still have the attack.
Then 47. Kf5!! Black has to let go of the Knight. And 53. Qh2+!? Ka1!
Final mistake. 61. ...d4?? d-pawn, you can't win against a white pawn on g6! |

| WhiteRook48: 62. g7!
At the Chess resturant, Kasparov orders: "Another passed pawn." |

| missing kasparov: Kasparov we miss your chess. |

| WhiteRook48: duh, since Kasparov is missing |

| just a kid: <hackmate>The book is self-titled Kasparov vs. the World.It's about 200 pages,but the analysis is great.It is still in print and you could buy it here if you want to.http://www.amazon.com/Kasparov-Agai... |

| WhiteRook48: what surprises me is that Black played 4...Qxd7 instead of 4...Nxd7 |
|

| WhiteRook48: after 62...d3 63. g8=Q d2 64. Qc8+ Kd1 how does White win? |
|
| Jan-07-09 |
| WhiteRook48: Or am I completely following the wrong line for white? |
|
| Jan-20-09 |
| WhiteRook48: wikipedia offers a lot of insight on this game.
27. Qf7 appears to lose time, but in fact Black has to defend the f-pawn. |
|

| WhiteRook48: why is 52...Ka1 a good move? |
|

| swarmoflocusts: <after 62...d3 63. g8=Q d2 64. Qc8+ Kd1 how does White win?> Well, first of all, 64.Qgg1+ is forced mate in 15 - the exact mate may be hard to see, but Kasparov certainly could have found the mating net. After 64.Qc8+ Kd1 (your specific question) there is mate in five (65.Qg1+ Qe1 66.Qcg4 Kc2/Kc1 67.Qc4(Qc5) Kb2(Kb1) 68.Qb6+ and mate to follow). However, after 64.Qc8+, black's best is not Kd1 but Qc2, after which 65.Qxc2 Kxc2 results in an easy win for white (as long as you know the pattern, which Kasparov most certainly does). (The pattern, by the way, in case you didn't know, involves forcing the black king behind his pawn with the white queen and using the tempo to move the white king one step closer. Eventually, when white's king and queen are both attacking the pawn, white simply takes it.) |

| WhiteRook48: maybe a better pun would be "Kasparov, the King of the World" |

| just a kid: <crptone: I don't understand what's so good about Kh1, he could easily have played Kg2 as well. there's not much you can do with a check>
Oh yes you can!For example here is a crucial line if you play 35.Kh1
35.Kh1 b3 36.g4 b2 37.g5 Nb4 38.g6 Nd3 39.h6 b1(Q) 40.Rxb1 Nxf4<if the king is on g2 it is check,that is the difference!>41.Re1+ Be5 42.g7 Kf7 43.g7 with a winning position for white. |

| just a kid: Quit whining that 51...Ka1 didn't go through!52...Kc1 also draws,and Smart Chess and Irina Krush blew the world's last chance with 54...b4?? 54...Qd5!<bacrot' s suggestion> would have drawn.You dug your own grave and you were buried in it. |

|
| just a kid: 43.Rg1 with a winning position for White, my bad. |

| just a kid: <Ironically they followed Krush's suggestion of 54...b4 which lost, as opposed to Qd5 and Qd3 which both could've drawn.>54...Qd3 loses although it takes a thin line to win.54...Qd3 55.g6 Qc3+ 56.Kf7 Qc7 57.Kf8<the best move>57...Qb8+ 58.Kg7 b4 59.Kh7 b3 60.Qa4+!<not 60.g7 Qa7 61.Kh8 b2 62.g8(Q) b1(Q) when,even though there is two queens on the board,there is no mating attack.>60...Kb2 61.g7 Qb7 62.Qh4! Ka3 63.Kh8 b2 64.Qg3+ Ka4 65.Qf4+ Ka5 66.Qf5+Ka4<66...d5 67.g8(Q) when the Queening square is covered>67.g8Q Qh1+ 68.Kg7 Qg2+ 69.Kf7 Qb7+ 70.Kf6 b1Q 71.Qc4+ Q1b4 72.Qfc2+ then mate afterwards. |

| rwbean: With the help of Rybka 3 (verified with Glaurung 2.2), I found another variation that was misevaluated by Kasparov (in his 2000 book about the game) and Krush (in her analysis during the game): 29 ... b4 30. h6 Qc2 31. Bxf4 Nd8 32. Qh5 Bxf4 33. h7 Be5 34. Qxe5 dxe5 35. h8=Q Nc6 36. Qh3+ and now 36 ... e6 37. Qe3 Nd4 draws: if 38. Re1 Qf5, or 38. Qxe5 Ne2+ 39. Kh1 b3.
Computers are so much faster now, they change everything... |
