| Eggman: <<A good way to duck stalemate is to just keep checking the opponent until you see that decisive move.>> Unless you have many pieces, you can't stalemate the opponent until his King has been pushed to the edge of the board, and once he's on the edge of the board then using the Queen to cut him off on the rank or file will keep him on the edge and avoid stalemate too, especially if the Queen is far away, e.g. 78.Qb2. |

| nsppp: That's shocking.There is mate in two on the board and instead stalemate. |

| nsppp: In spite of all I think we shouldn't be so critical of Garry Kasparov because that's a blitz game.Probably he have had 1-2 sec or something like that. |

| Hot Logic: I can hardly imagine Garry has ever practiced checkmate with Q+B, that's probably why he blundered this one (lack of familiarity). Queen on the second file/rank with king trapped against the board edge is the main theme of Q+K v K so with that in mind Qb4 might be easier to see. I do find it strange that GK didn't suspect some sort of stalemate trap however. |

| Eric Schiller: Kasparov was furious about this loss. At the Olympiad months later, I was with Garry when his pile of opening preparation was delivered to him the night before he was to play Georgiev in a real (slow) game. He threw he pile on the floor, stating that he didn't need any prep, he was just going to smash Georgiev. And sure enough, he did! |

| rook17: the extra bishop helped georgiev more than it helped kasparov...how annoying for kasparov. |

| gambitfan: Eureka !
It was a blitz game !
Such an ending would have been unthinkable in a "normal" game ! |

| The Rocket: LOL Kasparov falls for stalemate kinda funny to see one of the greatest of all time do that |

| micartouse: It can't hurt to play these endings out to mate against a computer for practice. 78. Qb2 Ka5 79. Bc4 Ka4 80. Qb3+ Ka5 81. Qb5# may not be optimal, but who cares? It takes a split second to perform these moves when you've done them many times. |

| DoubleCheck: 78. Qb4 is the winning move
black is forced to play Ka7 in which queen is mating on b7 |

| WhiteRook48: What is Kasparov DOING here? Maybe he was distracted by Karpov walking outside the building.
How did the World Champion not see that he falls for a STALEMATE |

| WhiteRook48: The dreaded same-colored Bishops draw. |
|
| Dec-19-08 |
| WhiteRook48: Anyone notice that the promoted Queen only made Bishop-like moves? |
|

| KingG: Clearly Kasparov's flag must have been about to fall, but it's still pretty incredible that he would choose 78.Qc5 over the natural 78.Qb4, which cuts the King off onto a single file(the usual way of winning queen-up endgames). |

| square dance: ::waiting for rookfile to post a game where fischer mates with Q+B vs K:: :-) |

| WhiteRook48: 2nd favorite Kasparov blunder game. My first favorite is where Kasparov is forced to make a bunch of losing moves:
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Qh4+????? 4. Kf1 b5???
5. Bxb5 Nf6 (oh come on your opponent's not going to fall for Ng4 and Qf2#)
6. Nf3 Qh5? |
|
| Dec-28-08 |
| WhiteRook48: Qc5?? is odd for Kasparov. |
|
| Jan-06-09 |
| WhiteRook48: Wow Kasparov must have lost a ton of rating points, just because of that blunder. |
|
| Jan-19-09 |
| WhiteRook48: What do you think made Kasparov make this blunder? |
|
| Jan-24-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 78. Qc5?????? how many question marks to this? |
|
| Feb-03-09 |
| WhiteRook48: so this shows you not to resign |
|
| Feb-08-09 |
| WhiteRook48: the extra Q and B are not helpful to Kasparov |
