| Gbness: I've been meaning to find this game for forever. It must have been recently added, but anyway, a fantastic draw. |

| Knight13: I've submitted this game. A pretty nice game to be added in the database, I though. Anyway, seems like Black can win this. after 29. b3 b5 I think the passed pawns are gonna give White some trouble. Nice choice of taking a draw, Kasparov. |

| sitzkrieg: After 29.b3 b5 maybe a5 and the pawns are not passed yet and c5 is attacked. What does the computer say? |

| uergash: I was amazed that Josh drew against that nice Kingside-attack |

| goldenbear: why not 24.Rad1 and 25.d6? |

| goldenbear: I think Kasparov steered this one towards a draw from better position. |

| goldenbear: I mean has anyone ever seen 13.f5? before? Kasparov is effectively saying "I can play you as I wish and you can't hurt me." |

| goldenbear: In the final position, White has a5, which I think is better than b3. |

| chess champion 8: I think that after the move b3-b5 kasparov can play a5 forcing waitzkin to protect the c5 pawn. Waitzkin could then play Rc8 and Kasparov can't move the f3 rook because the pawn on f5 would be taken, possibly trading bishops and giving waitzkin a passed e pawn. H3 could be played by kasparov to prevent the rook coming to g4 and causing the white bishop problems. Kasparov must watch the black c4 push giving black good chances on getting a passed c pawn. I think Kasparov should leave the passed d pawn where it is right now just to be safe.(The bishop is doing a fine job guarding it). |

| Albertan: <goldenbear>: I mean has anyone ever seen 13.f5? before? Hi Goldenbear, according to my database Kasparov was the first to play the move f5 on move 13. Three games have been played since this game in which 13.f5 was used. |

| unixfanatic: I think they should have played a little longer - it seems really early for a draw (although it doesn't appear unpopular among GMs) |

| Floyd5642: Well, this was a simultaneous game against the World Champion Kasparov. Maybe he didn't do the best moves because he had to play 58 kids at once. |

| afterbirth: I think Kasparov offered the draw ostensibly to give the appearance that Waitzkin is such a prodigy that he can draw as black against the world champion.But beneath the surface Kasparov was really just saving himself from an embarrassing loss to a 10 year old. |

| WhiteRook48: so basically if Waitzkin had declined the draw, he would have won? |

| Mr.Snuffles: <WhiteRook48>
Probably yes. But we have to remember that the longer the game lasts kasparov would have fewer opponents, so who knows what would happen? |
