| Sep-15-08 | | Sem: I don't agree with Whitehat1963. IMO the game changed again in the seventies, when people such as Karpov, Jan Timman and Ulf Andersson started playing an opaque sort of chess. They hid their intentions better than their predecessors, which resulted in a different development of the games, which I found harder to understand than the games of Larsen, Portisch, Keres, Fischer etc. And then there was of course Duncan Suttles from Canada, who displayed a style all his own, a modern-day Reti, if you like. |

| Jan-10-09 | | Marcellus: The move of choice of the spectators, 21...Qd8, seems to give Black drawing chances after 21...Qd8 22.Nf3 Qb6+ 23.d4 Qxb2 24.Rb1 Qxc3 25.Rxb7+ Kd8 (25...Kc8 26.Rb3) 26.Rb3 Qc2, and Topalov showed us the line 21...Nxd4 22.Qxf6 Rxf6 23.cxd4 Rf3 24.Rd1 g5. For the moment all we can say is that the proverbial jury is still out on this one. |

| Mar-23-09 | | gokhan1983: Kasparov had done true.White has an awful advantage.... |
|
| Jun-16-09 | | aspiringwriter: Gents, my two cents for this last game of Kasparov:
1) The ending is lost by Black, as White wins even after he takes Black pawn on d5, leaving his own d-pawns doubled. 2) One of Kasparov's mistakes was 14. ... Kd7. He should have played 14. ... Qb6 and then castling queenside. Analysis shows total equality in this line. |

| Jun-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: Fischer wasn't the father of modern chess- Morphy was |
|
| Aug-03-09 | | rubicante: I really do not know why Fischer is so popular. Tal was much better than Fischer in every way, and I believe he would still be the number one. But he has had the health problems, from that time on he starts losing to Fischer. |
|
| Aug-03-09 | | rubicante: if you do not know why Kasparov resigned, you should continue playing through this game and you will find out there is no chance for black. |
|
| Aug-06-09 | | Abdooss: In his time, Fischer was like 'the fastest gun' in the chess world, as he worked alone.. Kasparov was more like 'GI Joe' as he had one of the best team of GMs - Trainers, Researchers etc. Who's the best? It's like comparing apples and oranges. we won't have the definite answer.. both set the standard to a higher level!! |
|
| Oct-08-09 | | plogdin: MOVE 20, Black, Kasparov could have played Queen to F2 square and WIN the game! Why did he not do that ? |

<crafty: 19. ...Rf8 20.Nxd4 Qf2+ 21.Kh1 Rf6 22.Qa4+ Nc6=(eval -0.01; depth 12 ply; 100M nodes)>It would not have won him the game but according to the kibitzing it seems to draw. |
|
| Oct-08-09 | | tacticalmonster: This pawn ending is lost for several reasons
1) white king is more actively placed ( fourth rank vs third rank) 2) White has an extra doubled pawn. This serve a useful purpose as white can trade on d5 as he please but white can never take on e4. 3) white has more pawn moves than black. This gains or loses tempi white winning ideas is as follow:
1) improve his king to fifth rank
2) attack the weak pawns: first tie down black in the defense of e6 pawn. Once black runs out of move and white gains opposition, white king will invade on either the queenside or the kingside. This should be a very simply technique for the pro. |

| Oct-08-09 | | tacticalmonster: a)1.h5+ 2.Kf4 Ke7 3. Ke5
b)1.g5 2.hxg5 hxg5 3. Kh5
c)1.a6 2.a3 tranpose to a or b
d)1.Kf7 2.h5! g5 3. exd5 exd5 4.Kf5 win the d5 pawn
e)1.Kf7 2.h5 Kf6 3. hxg6 Kxg6 4. Kh4 h5 (any K move allow Kh5 and white wins)
5. g4 hxg4 6. Kxg4 Kf6 (Kh6?? kf4-ke5 win) 7. Kh5 Kf7
8.(Kh6 draw) Kg5 Kg7 9. e5! Kf7 10. Kh6 Kf8 11.Kg6
white has the opposition and will eventually pick up the e6 pawn. |

And according to himself his mind and feelings were set on the concludingspeech which he would do soon after this game. |
|
| Nov-22-09 | | btmachine333667: I have not read the previous comments, but it seems that if it were white to move at the position when Kasparov resigned, it would be a draw. |

 | | sbevan: GM Kavalek had an excellent analysis of this game in the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy... "...27.h4? (Topalov carelessly throws the win away. Not much can be gained with a queenside pawn play, where symmetrical moves soon exhaust all possibilities. He needs extra pawn moves on the kingside to force black into a zugzwang. With 27.Kg4! white wins, ..." etc. |

| Oct-26-11 | | serenpidity.ejd: <moronovich> Meaning the last game of tournament, competitive and professional chess.Rated games, in other words.
When Kasparov retired I think my interest in chess waned dramatically. Who would not, because we just missed the greatest player to have played the game in modern chess. He was and is a true CHESS GENIUS!!! (Nobody can dispute this.) His style of play was the best ever. He was the King when it comes to sacrifices. He was a player who loves to attack and counter attack and yet his position was very safe.
The one thing that made me admire Kasparov the most was his ability to make his opponents look like patsies or beginners( if not stupid) on the board---hallmark of aTRUE CHESS GENIUS INDEED.

 | | Domdaniel: Is this (still?) the game with the highest combined rating for both players? With Kasparov at his 2850 peak and Topalov approaching the 2800 mark, the average is around 2820. Recent games between Carlsen and Aronian are close, but not quite high enough. I think. |
|
| Dec-23-11 | | Everett: Kasparov was closer to 2812 than 2851 at this time. |
|
Dec-23-11
| | Domdaniel: <Everett> OK, but which was higher -- peak Kasparov vs-near-2800-GM, or current Carlsen-Aronian? Strictly in terms of players' ratings at the time of the game. There may be differences between Frogbert's Liveratings, say, and the relevant FIDE lists. |
|
| Dec-23-11 | | Everett: <Domdaniel> oh, I don't know, and not too interested... Though i would look at '99 Kasparov vs Anand, not this game. |
|
Dec-23-11
 | | acirce: Kasparov was 2804 and Topalov 2757 at the time of this game. I <think> the games between Kasparov and Kramnik in the 2001 Botvinnik Memorial (like Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2001) should be those with the highest combined rating -- 2838 and 2809 respectively. |
|
Dec-23-11
| | Domdaniel: <acirce> Tack. That just about pips Carlsen vs the current 2800 crop, I think. Though it's manifestly just a matter of time before two players reach the 2830-2840 zone at once. Within a year, maybe. |
|
| Jul-14-12 | | master of defence: I donīt understand two things about this game. First, what happens after 19...dxc3? Second, what happens after 20...Qf2 21.Kh1 Qxb2? |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | GilesFarnaby: <master of defence: I donīt understand two things about this game. First, what happens after 19...dxc3? Second, what happens after 20...Qf2 21.Kh1 Qxb2?> Rb1, Rxb7+, and the black K will be cut in the 8th rank. Qg4 will maybe appear as well. |
