Nov-16-04		alexandrovm: I wonder about this game. It was won in a "flash" by Kasparov. Bareev seems not to have seen what hit him, lol :) Nice tactical blow!

Nov-25-04		shortsight: wow, Kasparov as deadly as Tal, and he only took re-calculated calculated risk, while Tal sometimes sac on feel of the game without really calculating. but then, Tal's way certainly speaks of genius.

May-06-05		aw1988: This isn't a tactical blow, the king is pinned.

Jul-01-05		fgh: <aw1988>: The king is pinned, therefore it's a tactical blow.

Jul-02-05		aw1988: Um, what?

Jul-02-05		Ernest van der Sar: <shortsight> Are you being serious? How can you write something like that after an enormous blunder from 1 of the 2 players?

Jul-03-05		fgh: <Ernest van der Sar>: What "enormous blunder" are you talking about? I have gone through this game and there doesn't seem to be any "enormous blunder".

Jul-03-05		fgh: <aw1988>: Take for example these two different factors: If the king is pinned and you have avaible a move, which exploits the pin and gives you a mating attack, than it's a tactical blow, or a tactical factor. On the other hand, if white has a backward pawn on d2 and you can put a pawn on d3, then it's a strategical or positional factor, because it decreases the mobility of white's pieces.

Jul-03-05		aw1988: I realize the difference, but if you put a piece where it apparently can be taken but it can't because the king is pinned, well, it can't be taken, it's not exactly a tactical blow.

Jul-03-05		fgh: <aw1988>: Ok, it's a tactical blow and basta-fidli :-)

Jul-03-05		aw1988: What is basta-fidli?

Jul-04-05		fgh: <aw1988>: It comes from Czech Republic and it means something like "enough discussions" :-)

Jul-04-05		offramp: "Assez palabres".

Jul-04-05		aw1988: Oh, I do love the Czech country, but damned if I know the language. By the way, you're right, it's tactical, sorry.

Jul-04-05		fgh: <offramp>: Sorry, but I couldn't understand your post.

Jul-04-05		offramp: <fgh: <offramp>: Sorry, but I couldn't understand your post.> It is French for 'enough talk'.

Jul-04-05		aw1988: "Palabres"?? Not any French I know of, sounds more Spanish.

Oct-13-05		Averageguy: I'm confused.

Dec-17-05		Jim Bartle: Is it just me, or does anybody else notice that Bareev often gets in trouble by picking off b- and g-pawns and opening lines for his opponents?

Oct-19-06		thegoodanarchist: Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that a top-level GM lost in the opening in the 1990's. Seems inexcusable to me, even if your opponent is Kasparov. As early as the 1930's. Alekhine showed the importance of opening preparation on the world-class level. What was Bereev doing in his off time?

Oct-19-06		Brown: <thegoodanarchist> perhaps Bareev was finding something more fruitful and satisfying than analyzing openings, or, worse yet, kibitzing like us.

Oct-19-06		RookFile: It's hard to imagine Bareev playing such a stupid opening.

Feb-10-07		dejavu: I got the feeling that bareev up to the crushing Rg3 by gazza was under the impression that he was winning. even karpov is so vigilant against gazza and he got caught.

Mar-09-07		ToTheDeath: Great play by Kasparov. The extreme criticism of young Bareev is unwarranted- the position was level for most of the game and the manuever Rb2-b3-g3 is not easy to foresee. 18. a4? is the losing move. After 18.Rad1 Qe5! Black is a little better but White is still very much in the game. 19.Rad1? walks into mate but even after the best defence 19. Rac1 Rg3 20. Qc6 Rxg2+ 21.Kh1 Rxf2+ 22. Bf3 Qxc6 23. Bxc6 Rxf1+ 24. Rxf1 Bxh3 White is completely lost.

Mar-09-07		shalgo: <Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that a top-level GM lost in the opening in the 1990's. Seems inexcusable to me, even if your opponent is Kasparov.> It is ridiculous to single out Bareev, or this game, for this fault. Other top players have had games in which they have lost in the opening. For example: A Zapata vs Anand, 1988 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997 Anand vs Kramnik, 2005 Everyone is fallible.
