| Dec-24-07 | | Ruy Lopez: Even by move 20, black is a knight to a pawn and 2 bishops (the bishop on a7 is useless) and has an incredibly cramped position. And after Qd2, black threatens Bxh6 black's kingside would be torn apart. |

| Jan-16-08 | | newzild: A really, really bad game by Sting. Blunder after blunder. I doubt if he's even a 1200 player. Some of the comments below "Kasparov would lose a sing-off just as easily" are beside the point. Kasparov doesn't have a reputation as a singer. Sting, for some reason, is a well-known chess enthusiast. Over the years he's carefully cultivated a reputation as something of an intellectual. Clearly, this doesn't extend to his chess-playing ability. |

| Jun-05-08 | | kitaro33: Well I played against Kasparov too. here is it. Kasparov vs Munoz Luis, 1997 |
|
| Jun-05-08 | | charms: Well, Stings defeat to Kasparov is not as bad as the Klitchko brothers loss to Elisabeth Pähtz... |
|
| Jun-05-08 | | hitman84: This game had a Sting in the tail. |
|
| Jun-05-08 | | GeauxCool: 45 moves, awesome! Kasparov took just 22 moves to destroy John Nunn: Kasparov vs Nunn, 1982 So Sting is twice as good as None.
|
|
| Jun-06-08 | | hitman84: No <Geaux> Sting used his tantric skills to make the game last longer. |
|
| Jul-01-08 | | Whitehat1963: I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing .... |

| Jul-02-08 | | Jim Bartle: ...every move you make... |
|
| Jul-02-08 | | Whitehat1963: Sting's black bishop: "I'm sending out an SOS. I'm sending out an SOS ..." |
|
| Jul-25-08 | | progrock64: Bishop in a bottle. |
|
| Jul-26-08 | | Whitehat1963: Songs from the CD Kasparov released after winning this game: 1. Free Free, Set Him Free.
2. Fortress Around Your Bishop.
3. If I Ever Lose this Game to You, There'll be Nothing Left for Me to Do. 4. I Dream of Reign.
5. Every Little Thing I Do is Magic.
6. Consider it Gone.
7. Just Like the Old Moves in That Book by Kasparov. 8. Driven to Fears.
9. Demolition Man.
10. Wrapped Around My Finger.

| Jul-26-08 | | aazqua: Sting didn't hold off Kasparov; Kasparov batted him around in his paws for a while and lost interest. I'm sure Kasparov wanted to keep him around for a little while since it was the "Sting" simul. >>>Despite the inevitable loss, it is impressive to hold out for 45 moves against a player of such calibre. |
|
| Aug-24-08 | | Augalv: Well played by the lead singer of The Police |
|
| Oct-02-08 | | just a kid: Not to bad of a game by sting. |
|
| Oct-02-08 | | Jim Bartle: Probably better than Kasparov's singing, at least... |
|
| Oct-02-08 | | ughaibu: I dont know, Kasparov looks a bit of a crooner. If all politicians satisfied their desire for attention by singing. . . . . |
|
| Oct-19-08 | | GeauxCool: Sting missed the brilliant 41...d3+ |
|
| Oct-19-08 | | neverSummeRed: He also missed the impressive
36. ... Bb8!!
Which easily wins the game
:^D

| Dec-31-08 | | blacksburg: 17...d5? 39...exd4? not good, sting. not good. |
|
| Dec-31-08 | | blacksburg: that's a real nice bishop there on a7 sting. reeeeally nice. |
|
| Jan-01-09 | | cracknik: I know kasparov played chess for a living and sting sings songs for a living but with sting being a self admitted avid chess player, I think his play was atrocious. |
|
| Feb-28-09 | | WhiteRook48: Kasparov had to Sting his opponent |
