| Sadgrinner: Because I could not see why Magerramov resigned, here's some help who don't feel like figuring out the continuation on their own. If 36. Nxe5, then 36...Rxf4 threatening violence at f1, so
37. Rxf4 Qxe5 recovering the knight.
At the end of this specific melee, Kasparov's Bxe5 wins a pawn. More importantly, positionally the queen is poised to capture at either 38...e1 or 38...b2, a won game in either case as I see it. |

| Larsenb3: Because being down two pawns in the endgame would have been the deciding factor. |

| Kingsandsquares: It isn't the two pawns that is the deciding factor, but Kasparov taking the rook or the queen depending on 35..? |

| tpstar: 31. Qxh4?? g5 32. Qg3/Qh5 Rxf4 wins.
Nice display by Kasparov of a positional advantage leading to winning tactics. |

| roger05: Hi Sadgrinner, Magerramov resigned because Kasparov would not have played Qxe5 to recover the Knight. He could have gone Bxg2+. Not taking the Bishop with the Queen results in mate so after white Qxg2 Black would Qxf5 taking the rook and not the Knight. |

| radioterapista: Bxg2 + ??, because after that move there is Qxg2 and lose the advantage... If white plays Qxf4, black plays Kxd7 and white can resign. Sadgrinner idea is correct! (I think) |

| amadeus: 26.Re2 seems like a regular blunder to me.
26... Qf5-Bc5-Bc6 was nice, but why not 26... Rxf4 ? Fear of a trap? Doesn't kids like tactics anymore? BTW, nice ending. |

| MH7000: Y would Rxf4??? Then black would do rook to d1, right? help me out here |

| Jason Frost: <sadgrinner>There is no endgame white resigned because after 36 ... Rxf4 37. Rxf4 Qxe5 38. Rf1 Qxb2 white can't stop the pawn from queening. <amadeus>Why Gaza played 26. Qf5? instead of Rxf4! winning immidiatly, probably had a mental lapse or fell asleep. <roger05> After 37. ... Bxg2?? 38. Qxg2 Qxf4 39. Nxd7(  ) white is up 2 pieces for two pawns |
