<This story is from Petya Svidler. During the Linares tournament in 1998 Kasparov makes a move and shakes his head in irritation.: 'I don't remember anything.' Petya's a polite man, he's obliging, always ready to discuss any problems with anyone. So Garry Kimovich explains that Ivanchuk is playing the Zaitsev Variation in the Ruy Lopez against him, which Kasparov encountered many times in his matches with Karpov. 'Why didn't he warn me yesterday evening that he was planning on playing this? I could have measured up to him!' This way he didn't even remember anything, and he had to go into some tributary (a deviation from the main line in search of a draw - I.L.).

Or I remember Kasparov also lost to Ivan Sokolov (I Sokolov vs Kasparov, 1999). A variation in the Nimzo-Indian Defence, which he had analysed up to mate, he simply forgot. These episodes very precisely reflect the situation. A person isn't capable of keeping everything in his head!>
