| Sneaky: The word is, it looks like Black had no win in the final position. The analysis is here http://62.73.175.4/dynamic/articles... |

| pawntificator: Why is 22 f4 not a good move? |
|
| Oct-18-02 |
| pawntificator: I keep going over it and it seems quite deadly, I can't find a satisfactory response for black...Honza? Somebody with far superior chess skill than I? Anybody?? |

| Sneaky: From the link below:
<34...axb6 35.Rxa6 b2 36.Ra7+ Kg6 37.Rd7 Rc1 38.Rd6+! This is the key move to the entire concept. White forces the black knight to shield the king, otherwise it's a perpectual check draw. This would have been quite hard to find, particularly with just a few minutes on the clock. 38...Nf6 <38...Kf7 39.Rd7+ Kf8 40.Rd8+ Kf7 41.Rd7+ Kf6 42.Rd6+ Kg7 43.Rd7+ Kg6> 39.Rdd1 b1=Q Other moves draw easily. <39...Rc2 40.Kg2 Ng4 41.Kf3 h5 42.Re2> 40.Rxc1Fritz and Kramnik assumed Black would win easily with such a large material advantage. However, the black king can only be sheltered from checks by the knight, and without the knight's help the b-pawn cannot be advanced. The rooks can attack the knight or the b-pawn, preventing progress by either. Various defensive postures such as placing the rooks on b5 and b4 and just shuffling the king prove impenetrable to Fritz. (And to everyone else so far!)> |

| Danilomagalhaes: I guess f4 wasn´t used because of the move cxb3.
Am I right? |
|
| Oct-18-02 |
| Danilomagalhaes: Yes, I guess I´m right. If 22.f4, cxb3, that turns the bishop to another place and open lines for black, giving time to defense of the white menaces. Any doubt, talk to me. Any miss, talk to me |

| pawntificator: Thanks Dan! That does seem to diffuse the situation...I kept looking for black to immediately move in to help his king... |

| mj29479: what about 22.Bf3?it should have forced computer to move Ne5,and then kramnik would have gone for a safer Be4+. |

| Benjamin Lau: According to chessbase, the Fritz team may have heckled Kramnik with Shakespearen nonsense, causing him to lose the game. Read the funny transcript of Fritz's conversation with Kramnik here: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.... |

| Bears092: that's awesome.
I can only hope that Fritz had the voice of Sean Connery to use for all of that. I'd be so damn intimidated if that we me. |

| csmath: What was in Kramnik's mind when he got involved in a tactical battle with the computer? Fritz ordinarily underestimates the difficulties of the defense and sometimes it is possible to take advantage from that but not with human brain. In either case Kramnik conducted the attack very, very well, up to the point where there was no help. Burn the bridges and you'll pay for it.
The whole attack starting with 19. Nf7 was unneccessary since white retains safe and solid advantage with 19. Bd5 ... Nc5, 20. Bxf7 ... Kf8, 21. Bxf8 ... Qxd6, 22. Bb5 ... Bxb5, 23. axb5 ... d3, 24. Rc1 ... c3, 25. Bxc3 and black has nothing but serious problems. |

| acirce: <But to take on f7, to sacrifice a knight, well I thought, "let's have some fun, I'm in the lead." I'm pretty sure that at least this game six was very interesting for the public and it will be discussed for a long time so in this sense it leads to popularization of chess and this is nice. Maybe it was too much of a hard way to popularize chess for me, but what can you do?!> -- Kramnik |

| Dionyseus: Rybka 1.2n finds the win for black, in two methods!
In the first method, if white's king abandons his pawns and heads to the queenside, black can queen the h pawn: 35. Rxa6 b2 36. Ra7+ Kg6 37. Rd7 Rc1 38. Rd6+ Nf6 39. Rdd1 b1=Q 40. Rxc1 Qb4 41.

| Dionyseus: And if white doesn't abandon his pawns and plays something like 91.kg1 instead, black simply exchanges and the resulting Q vs R+2 pawns is a tablebase win for the Q. : 95. Kg1 Kg6 96. Rb1 h4 97. Rg4+ Kf7 98. Rf4+ Nf6 99. Rxh4 Qc2 100. Rbb4 b5 101.

| OhioChessFan: I like clicking through games. I sometimes see a move intuitively that looks good. I am lacking in analytical skills though. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this line? 25. g4 Bxh4
26. Bd2+ Bg5
27. Qh1+ Kg6
28. Qh5+ Kf6
29. Bxg5+
ISTM that after Bxh4, all of Black's moves are forced. I don't see an improvement for Black on the 25th move though. |

|
| OhioChessFan: Okay, I need some time to play with this. g5 seems clearly Black's move. f6 becomes the battleground square in the variations I'm trying. I had first wanted Black to play Qxf8, but I'm not sure that's necessary. One line I found is
25 g4 g5
26. Bf8+ Bg7
27. Qe6+ Nf6
28. f4 |

| apexin: Game Six
Vladimir Kramnik (2807) – Deep Fritz
Brains in Bahrain (6), 15.10.2002 [E15]
Deep Fritz again showed that it is very strong tactically and that it defends
tenaciously. If Kramnik doesn’t manage to get easier positions and complete
control, then Deep Fritz will win the match.
1.d4 Nf6
This time Fritz avoids d7-d5, which makes it easier for Kramnik to play quieter
systems.
2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Ba6
Black wants to provoke b3 to create weaknesses on the dark squares on White’s
queenside.
5.b3 Bb4+ 6.Bd2 Be7
This looks like a loss of tempo, but White’s bishop on d2 is badly placed.
7.Bg2 c6 8.Bc3 d5 9.Ne5 Nfd7 10.Nxd7 Nxd7 11.Nd2 0-0 12.0-0
Rc8 13.a4
Kramnik wants to stop any counterplay based on b6-b5. Also possible is 13.e4
dxc4 (13...c5 14.exd5 exd5 15.dxc5 dxc4 16.c6 cxb3 17.Re1 Bb5 18.axb3
Bxc6 19.Bxc6 Rxc6 20.Rxa7y 1-0, Kamsky,G-Karpov,A Elista 1996) 14.bxc4

26.Qb2 Qxb2 27.Nxb2 f6 28.f3 Kf7 29.Bf1 Bb5 30.Kf2 Ke6 31.Bc4+ Kd6

28.Re2 Bg4 29.Rd2 Nd7 30.Qb1 a5 31.Re1 0-1, (41) Morrison,G-Miles,A
Amsterdam 1978.
17.Ne4!? exd5
Deep Fritz is playing with fire, but the computer is comfortable with the tactical
complications.
18.Nd6 dxc4 19.Nxf7?!
A very courageous decision, as Fritz is a tenacious defender. 18...Be7? 19.Nxc8
Bxb4 20.Nxa7 Bc3 21.Rc1y.
19...Kxf7
19.Bd5!? was a serious alternative: 19...Nc5 20.Nxe8 (20.Bxf7+?! is answered
by 20...Kf8.) 20.Nxe8 Qxd5 (20...Qxe8 21.bxc4 Bb7 22.Re1r) 21.Nxf6+
gxf6 22.bxc4 and the position is very complicated, but probably easier to play
for Kramnik than the game continuation.
20.Bd5+ Kg6
20...Re6? 21.Qh5+ g6?! 22.Qxh7+ Bg7 23.Bxe6+ Kxe6 24.Qxg6+ Qf6
25.Rae1+i.

22.f4? h5 23.Bf7+ Kxf7 24.fxg5+ Kg8 25.Qxh5 Ne5 26.g6 Nxg6 27.Qxg6
Qd7o (Schulz).
22...Rxe4 23.Qxe4+ Kh6 24.h4 Bf6 25.Bd2+ g5 26.hxg5+ Bxg5
27.Qh4+? |
|
| Jul-11-08 |
| apexin: After this mistake, White’s attack will come to nothing. It is a pity that Kramnik’s
courage was not rewarded! 27.Qe6+! was called for: 27...Nf6 (27...Qf6?
28.Bxg5+ Kxg5 29.Qxd7y) 28.Qh3+ Nh5 29.f4 Bh4 (29...Bf6 30.g4) 30.g4
Ng3 31.f5+ Kg7 32.f6+ (Schulz) and the position is difficult to assess. It is
very difficult for a human to solve all these problems – even for Kramnik.
27...Kg6 28.Qe4+ Kg7 29.Bxg5 Qxg5 30.Rfe1 cxb3 31.Qxd4+ Nf6
32.a5 Qd5?
32...Qc5 should win easily.
33.Qxd5 Nxd5 34.axb6 0-1
This position is not as easy as I first assumed. Professor Ingo Althoefer has
drawn my attention to analysis of the Computer Chess Club, which indicates
that Kramnik should have played on: 34...axb6 35.Rxa6 b2 36.Ra7+ Kg6?
(36...Kf8! 37.Rd7 Nc3 38.Rd2 b1Q 39.Rxb1 Nxb1 40.Rb2 Nc3 41.Rxb6
(Althoefer) offers good winning chances, of course. But Kramnik should have
continued to see if Fritz found this line.) 37.Rd7 Rc1 38.Rd6+ Nf6 39.Rdd1
b1Q 40.Rxc1 Qf5. My analysis ended here, but White has 41.Rc6! b5 42.Ree6
b4 43.Rb6 h5 44.Rxf6+ Qxf6 45.Rxb4= and White’s fortress is impregnable. |
|
| Apr-03-09 |
| Lastwarrior: apparently many people commenting on the game believed that white's resign was premature. |
