| Jul-31-05 | | blingice: I'll probably be pretty embarrassed if there's an obvious answer to this...why can't Kasparov move Qh8 whenever and checkmate him? |
 |
| Jul-31-05 | | blingice: Not Kasparov, Kengis. |
|
| Jul-31-05 | | Robin001: There was never a checkmate on h8. What number move for white are you referring to when the queen could go to h8 to mate? |
|
| Aug-08-05 | | markanton: 31. Qh8 is mate I think. |
|
| Aug-08-05 | | Steppenwolf: No Markanton: 30 d5+ is check! So White can't checkmate on 31. Must defend. |
|
| Aug-11-05 | | blingice: Oh, I understand. He was checking him every time he had an opportunity. |
|
| Jan-17-06 | | LivinFree: Would 29 Rc3! have been a good move? |
|
| Jan-17-06 | | aerohacedor: Is 25 Qf6 a mistake?
Wouldn't it be better if Kengis moved h7+ instead? It doesn't seem like the king has anywhere to go after being checked by the pawn, which is protected by the rook and queen. |
|
| May-04-06 | | DoomLord: to aerohacedor:
25. h7+? Kh8 and white has no way to get to black's king
ex: 26. Qf6 now black can play Bg7 since white's pawn is no longer guarding g7 |
|
| May-04-06 | | DoomLord: does anyone know why white does not play Qf6 on move 33 but instead trades queens? I dont see black making any concrete threats and I dont think black can guard against white's mating threats along the a1-h8 diagonal. ex: 33. Qf6 Rg8 34. Qg7+!! Rxg7 35. hxg7+ Kg8 36. Rh8# |
|
| May-04-06 | | steamroller: DoomLord, if 33. Qf6, then black mates by 33... Qa5+, 34... Rc2+, and 35... Qa2# |
|
| May-04-06 | | who: The reason the endgame is so difficult to win is that Kasparov has a wrong colored rook's pawn, so even fancy moves like 49...f4+ leave white with a draw. |
|
| Apr-07-07 | | sumitkumar: white does a mistake here as i think.
he made a pre-mature decision. Qf6 should have been played a move later
h7 must have been played. alas white missed a chance to mate black |
|
| Sep-26-07 | | TopaLove: Kasparov has been always a good defender. Too bad he didnt got many oportunities to show it, since he was attacking most of times. |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | DanLanglois: Black had the win but he played 48...Kh3? instead of 48..f4+! The idea is to sack two pawns for White's bishop. 49 Bxf4 d2 50 Kxd2 Kxf4. |
|
| Feb-20-09 | | chillowack: No DanLanglois, that's not a win: White can move the king to the a1-square, from where he cannot be dislodged, and therefore Black cannot win. White can even sacrifice the b-pawn, and still get a draw (as long as the black a-pawn doesn't get to the b-file in the process). |

 | | furrer: chillo are you sure black cant force the black pawn to be a b pawn by capturing whites b pawn? |
|
| Apr-19-09 | | WhiteRook48: despite that black is ahead two pawns, white's king and bishop, which are blocking them, stops them from promoting |
|
| May-22-09 | | quiche1ss: h8 at move 30 is mated.. i think kengis is trying to prove his ability and u know... |
|
| Feb-07-10 | | remolino: <quiche1ss> White is in check on move 30, does not have time for 31.Qh8 |
|
| Feb-07-10 | | remolino: What a game for Kasparov, the kid. Most of us wish we could play today at the level of this wonder kid. |
|
| Nov-22-11 | | qqdos: <remolino> Here's another 9-year-old kid who could defend (and win!) against the Velimirovic Attack A Oganian vs Kramnik, 1984 - just as Garry was about to compete for the World Crown. This Kasparov game is a down-the-line Velimirovic (not B88 Sozin as indicated above) and was played 2 years befor Kramnik was born! |

 | | wordfunph: nice game description by Nikitin in the book Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Part 1 1973-1985.. <Nikitin: That day I watched Garik's game almost from the very start. My attention was immediately drawn to the board at which two contestants of quite different sizes were playing. A small, punny, dark-haired boy was looking seriously at the board and endlessly fidgeting on his chair. And sitting immobile opposite him was a tall, good-looking Latvian, who when thinking would literally tower over the battlefield. Compared with Garik, Kengis looked not only a giant, but also a highly-experienced fighter, but the events which occurred on the board forced the age difference to be forgotten.> :-) |
|
| Dec-19-11 | | qqdos: <wordfunph> thanx for that anecdote! |
|
| Feb-17-12 | | Penguincw: Nice job! A draw against Kasparov, future world champ. |
