Mar-13-03  AgentRgent: As well played as this is, Black isn't Garry Kasparov.. 1st the scoresheet lists S Kasparov, second GK wasn't rated anywhere near 2456 in 2002. It is in fact Sergey Kasparov ( http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph... )

  Honza Cervenka: Why 0-1?
Mar-24-03  ongyj: Hey Honza Cervenka I'm well impressed by some users' analysis/comments and you happen to be one of them:) So I'll like to take a shot at Y it's 0-1. Maybe it's because white's a-pawn will never promote but black has 2 passed pawns and has the only winning chances? If black manages to grab the a pawn while even dropping 1 or both pawns it will be a draw? Maybe white sees no way to even sac a rook for a pawn and the bishop as the king is too far away to block the pawns? Please tell me if I'm right and correct me if I'm not. Anyone? Thx.

  Honza Cervenka: Crafty, why 71.Rb5+? Why not 71.a5 with intention 71...c3 72.Ra2 d4 73.Re1 d3 74.a6? I don't see any clear winning continuation for black there. White always seems to be able to trade a rook for both black pawns. Of course, the ending K+R+B/K+R is drawish.
