  jaime gallegos: this year will be remember for Garry for this game, the french losted against Radjabov and the problems to play the match with Ruslan Ponomariov. OK, he wrote a book, but...

  Eggman: What I find interesting about the Huzman game is that Kasparov for about 20 years now has largely avoided playing anyone other than the top 10 or 15 ranked players, and I've always wondered how anonymous GMs would fair against him. Here, even without the blunder, we can say that Huzman (rated about 2575) was giving Garry a good run for his money.

Incidentally, shouldn't Kasparov's policy of pitting himself against only the highest-rated players tend to inflate his rating?

Oct-19-03  Spitecheck: Playing the lesser GMs would not degrade his rating. So much of the difference between the average GM and the Super GMs is linked to preparation these days. By playing the prole GMs Kasparov has to stretch his repertoire that much more and he has to research more opponents. Although have no doubt he is the superior player not just in preparation but in all facets of the game. If Kasparov does not wish to prewarn his more weighty opponents he almost has to play fake chess against these patzers LOL (kidding).

that's not true...normally he takes 6 of them on at the same time though...check out his simuls v. the israeli olympic team and i believe he did the same thing v. a german team

  Eggman: Surely Kasparov's rating would go down if he had the occasional draw or even loss against the likes of Huzman, Cramling, Spraggett, etc.
Oct-19-03  Spitecheck: He can lose to the odd 2500 player now and then Eggman, but the point is if he creams 4 or 5 and than loses/draws 1 or 2 of them it's not going to hurt his rating. Your line of thought indicates that you may consider Kasparov a tad overrated. I consider the rating system to be fairly accurate although the attempts by some to say that Kasparov is a better player than Fischer etc by simply comparing there ELO's is flawed.

Jan-27-04  strobane: Why does Kasparov resign; because he's 2 pawns down?
Jul-06-04  apple head: LOL Kasparov is only losing to a player with an IM strength
Jul-06-04  apple head: White is threatening Nxg7!! Kxg7 Rg5+ Kh8 Qxf6 #
Apr-28-05  tamud: why not 22.Nxg7 (as apple_head pointed out) instead of Bxc4? is the pawn capture necessary?
Apr-28-05  tamud: this game's embarassing. i'm going to either sell or burn all of my kasparov chess books.
Apr-28-05  aw1988: I advise you not, since this is only one bad games out of the hundreds of good ones...
Apr-28-05  tamud: <aw1988> thanks. i'll sell them. burning the books won't get me any money back.
Apr-28-05  aw1988: I advise you keep them.
May-31-05  ArturoRivera: I just imagined Alexander Huzman tranquil and calm face after Kasparov startled, with a tear on his face and his ego hurt as much as it can be, trembling stopped the clock and resigned in the view of unaboivadble material loss or mate, the noise on the room interrupted, everybody looking to table number one, then, imagine yourself Huzman walking to Kasparov slowly, then he put an arm on his shoulder and say :Dont worry son, you did it well, it just takes time to learn.... : )

just joking, no offense, i dont want to mess with anybody : )

Aug-14-05  Averageguy: <Tamud> Black would play the intermezzo 22...Nxd5.
Aug-17-05  shortsight: I should say Kaspy was simply over-confident and play without much thought. He was on a roll, and before this game, his performance rating was more than 3000! Maybe with that in mind, he thought he's in good form, and simply switch to auto-cruise, and continue playing some blind moves before he realised his bad position. Sometimes, playing not-so-good opponents would lead super-GMs to wander around instead of playing full-strength.

  TheAlchemist: Huz the man?
Oct-28-05  scriabin369: Hey fellas please take a look at this site before you condemn GK...lol Sergey Kasparov
Jan-26-06  EmperorAtahualpa: Yes I also believe this game should be attributed to Sergey Kasparov.
Jan-26-06  mikejaqua: <scriabin369> <EmperorAtahualpa> Why would you want to attribute the game to the wrong player?
Jan-26-06  refutor: <emperoratahualpa> check http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... it was him
Jan-26-06  EmperorAtahualpa: Sorry for the confusion guys.....thanks <refutor>.
