 | | Sneaky: 42. ...Be4! was a nice shot. (43.Bxe4? Qf1!) |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: What about 43.Bxe4 Qf1 44.Nf5+ Nxf5 45.h4? Also 43.Qa2 or 43.Qh5 was certainly better than 43.Qxe4. Definitely losing move was that blunder 47.Bf3. After 47.f3 is not clear how black would win the game. |

| Dec-19-02 | | mdorothy: At first glance, I dont like 43. Qh5, but I think 43. Qa2 may be ok. If 43. Qh5, I think black can go ahead and trade bishops, and then put his queen on f1, there are many complications, and I dont quite have enough time right now to look at them all, but I think I would still much prefer black. Personally, I think 43. Qa2 takes the queen too far out of action, and black has several choices, first in my mind is Qd3, attacking the strong passed pawn, and increasing the pressure on the kingside, which shows my thoughts on why I don't like the the white queen only defending along the 2nd rank. |

| | Sneaky: 43.Bxe4 Qf1 44.Nf5+ Nxf5 45.h4! looks very good to me. I think you might have busted Karpov's tactic? About 43.Qh5, I analyzed this as good for Black after ...Bxb2 44. Kxg2 (44.Nxg2 Qf1 44.g4 Ne4 -+) Qf1+ 45.Kf3 Qh1+ followed by Qe4+ etc. |

| | Sneaky: After looking at it, I am pretty sure that 43.Qa2 would have shut down all of Black's hopes. Kasparov simply panicked and got swindled. |

| | Honza Cervenka: My idea with 43.Qh5 was 43...Bxg2 [43...Qa1 44.Qg4+ Kh6! 45.Bxe4 Qxb2 46.Kg2 Qxd4 (46...Re1 47.Nf5+ Nxf5 48.Qxf5 Kg7 49.Qxh7+ Kf8 50.Qh8+ Ke7 51.Bc6 Qxd4 52.Qe8+ and 53.Qxe1 +-) 47.Nf5+ Nxf5 48.Qxf5 Kg7 49.Qxh7+ Kf8 50.Qh6+ Ke7 51.Qxc1 Qxe4+ 52.Kh2 with decisive advantage.] 44.Qg4+ Kf8 45.Qf4 Rh1+ 46.Kxg2 Qf1+ 47.Kf3 Qd3+ 48.Kg4 (+-), but I overlooked simple 45...Qf1! forcing a draw - 46.Qxd6+ Kg7 47.Nf5+ Kg6 48.Ne7+ Kg7 49.Nf5+ Kg6 etc. |

| Feb-06-03 | | analyzing expert: WOW!!! The Karpov-Kasparov rivalry never ceases to amaze me. It is by far the greatest rivalry in chess history. This is definitely one of their most exciting games yet. Be4 looks bad at first, but is really a brilliant move you realize later. |
|
| Feb-06-03 | | drukenknight: what about 23 a4 going for the spear?
I was suprised that black waited so long to play Nf5 |
|
| Feb-06-03 | | drukenknight: now that I look at it what about 26 Rxe7 followed by Rxc6 |
|
| Mar-26-03 | | crafty: 43. ♕h5 ♗xg2 44. ♕g4+ ♔f8 45. ♕f4 ♕f1 46. ♕xd6+ ♔g7 = (eval 0.00; depth 14 ply; 1000M nodes) |
|
| Jul-12-03 | | mkdir: gary stunned to death with Be4 |
|
| Jan-05-04 | | Grandpatzer: I'm in agreement with crafty's March comment, and would just like to elaborate a bit on it, by saying that after 46. Qxd6+ Kg7, Kaspy would have had the draw in hand with 47. Nf5+ Kg6 48. Ne7+ Kg7 49. Nf5+ Kg6 50. Ne7+ Kg7 51. Nf5+, and that 3rd repetition of position gives the draw. |
|
| Apr-21-05 | | watchchess79: I am a little weak in chess. Can anybody explain me the winning line for black if 43.Qb3 ? |
|
| Sep-23-05 | | Helios727: Does the 25/10 mean 25 minutes plus 10 seconds added per move? |
|
| Sep-23-05 | | aw1988: Yes.
And I once again object to not being able to type under five characters. |
|
| Sep-23-05 | | Helios727: <watch> I don't think there is a winning line after 43.Qb3 |
|
| Nov-07-05 | | chesscrazy: <helios727> me neither |
|
| Nov-07-05 | | aw1988: Qb3 Bxg2 and Qf1 |
|
| Jul-04-06 | | RookFile: A nice no nonsense win for Karpov. |
|
| Jul-05-06 | | KingG: Kasparov must have been furious at losing this game, even though it was only rapid. After 35.Kh2, it's hard to imagine that he can lose. But, probably because of the time control, he makes a series of small mistakes. 36.g4! was winning, although there are a lot of variations to consider. The main line goes 36.g4! Rd6 (36...Nh6 37.Qe7 Rf8 38.Qxf6+ Kg8 39.Nh4 gives a winning attack) 37.Rc8 Qe6 38.Qa8 Nh6 39.Rh8 Qe7 40.Qe8 Qxe8 41.Rxe8  Still, even in a rapid game, you would think Kasparov would intuitively see the strength of this move. Perhaps he was afraid of 36...Ne3 37.fxe3 Be4, and didn't see 38.Qc7!(Qc5 is ok as well) Rd7(38...Bxf3 39.Rc2) 39.Qc8 Rd6 40.Rc1 And the calm 43.Bxe4 Qf1 44.Nf5+ Nxf5 45.h4 Nh6 46.Bf3(or Qh5) would have probably have been winning. Certainly, White is in no danger. |

Video from the match, emphasis on this game. Full of animated expression from GK as the game ends (especially after he plays 44.Nf5+). |

| Apr-29-07 | | Voxation: Why did he give up his queen??? |
|
Apr-29-07
 | | Benzol: <<Voxation>: Why did he give up his queen???> <Voxation> If you read <Sneaky>'s first post then you'll see that after 43.♗xe4 then 43...♕f1 is crushing with the threat of mate on g1. If 44.♘f3 then 44...♕h1 mates. |
|
Apr-29-07
| | Benzol: I've just read <Honza>'s and <Sneaky>'s subsequent posts and it looks like Kasparov could have held this with 44.♘f5+ and 45.h4. Maybe Kasparov was in time trouble? |
|
| Mar-23-08 | | aazqua: I saw this immediately. Certainly anything is better than the text which is tantamount to a resignation. Is there something wrong with the line below? >>
What about 43.Bxe4 Qf1 44.Nf5+ Nxf5 45.h4? |
