Oct-06-04		ConLaMismaMano: Why does Kasparov lose? Maybe after Kg6 comes Rd4 followed by Nc5 threatening to take the bishop?

Oct-06-04		tamar: Right. Also, there is the fork threat on f4 after 48 Kg6 Rd4 49 Rd1 Rxd3

Oct-06-04		percyblakeney: And 48.Bf5 doesn't work either, because of Nd4 49.Rxd4 Rxd4.

Sep-01-05		square dance: is this a rapid game? i thought kasparov had never lost to leko.

Sep-01-05		percyblakeney: Yes, it was a rapid game. Another game in the same tournament, but with a slightly more uncommon opening, was Morozevich vs Kasparov, 2000

Sep-01-05		square dance: <pb> thanks for the info and the link.

Sep-06-05		EmperorAtahualpa: After 47...Rf4+, Crafty says: (-3.92/depth=16) 48.Bf5 Nd4 49.Rxd4 Rxd4 50.a3 Rd2 51.b4 axb4 52.axb4 Rb2 53.Kg6 Rxb4 54.Kg5 Kc5 55.Bd3 [HT]

Feb-17-06		blingice: Why isn't this in Leko's "Notable Games" section? It's his only win while playing Kasparov.

Mar-09-06		blingice: <EA> I'm surprised that's the score, with the final position being click for larger view and the pawn relatively easy to trade for the bishop, after white loses the rook for the knight on the second move of your line, it's basically done.

Sep-20-07		xeroxmachine: I think Kosporov thougot dat hes kong is looked to da wrong side by da rook. And there fur resogn.
