  Ulhumbrus: Avoiding winning a pawn on f2 avoids exchanging a pair of rooks as well, and so avoids exposing Black's K to the extent that the black K gets exposed by an exchange of rooks
Mar-04-05  Knight13: Kasprov calculated 5 moves ahead and.... boom! A good move!

  Ulhumbrus: Kasparov has avoided exchanging rooks by parting with his bishop pair
Mar-04-05  WillC21: <knight13> I am going to eat you!!!
Mar-04-05  flamboyant: that e4 pawn can become really dangerous!
Mar-04-05  Knight13: Kaspy is doing pretty good.
Mar-04-05  kasim: What about now <Will21c>
Mar-04-05  Knight13: I just can't leave my White mouse avatar behind.
Mar-04-05  ChessMan94: <sneaky> do you think that white is still in good shape here?! Not me.
Mar-04-05  laugadgil: hi guys. first time here. games going well
Mar-04-05  Iskandar2005: I don't like that advanced pawn majority on Q-side... Kasim lost on that last game

  AgentRgent: Exciting game, but I have to go.. doubt this will still be going when I get back.. Go Kasim!
Mar-04-05  ranchogrande: congrats <Knight 13>!
Mar-04-05  TheSlid: <Knight13> Sounds good.

Seems a bad time to leave the game, but I have to go!

Mar-04-05  jim rindgen: ...e3 next for black?
Mar-04-05  pawnstar3: white can play either Qe2 here or even b3
Mar-04-05  kasim: <ChessMan94> I guess you couldn't see that black has one either.

  Ulhumbrus: One potential threat is ...Ng3+ and ...Qh6 mate in reply to hxg3

  Gypsy: <flamboyant: strange kaspy gave up his bishop pairs, he probably got something in mind > It lets the e-pawn cross e4.
Mar-04-05  Ezzy: Fritz much prefered 23..Bd4 with a 1/2 pawn advantage. Now after 24 Qe2 is dead equal
Mar-04-05  Knight13: Yace(computer) don't know what to do!

  Joshka: Might 24.b3 get that bishop trapped maybe?
Mar-04-05  WillC21: Kasim is in terrible trouble!
Mar-04-05  laugadgil: what about Qb1?
