Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-21-04  fred lennox: A Sicilian gem. 6...g6 is one of Stauntons most enduring innovations. Latter, he refined it further by...Ne7 instead of Nh6. The idea behind...g6 is "...it effectually prevents the formidable attack which the first player could obtain by advancing the Pawns on this side. It has also the merit of enabling Black to bring his Kings Bishop immediatly into action." - Staunton. One writer claims, at least after move 5, not even Kasparov could have improved on this wonderfully smooth performance
Feb-21-04  Calli: Kasparov would have improved with 34...Bxg2+! 35.Kxg2 Bxh4 :=)
Feb-22-04  fred lennox: That's true. Staunton could of played 34...d8 too. In a won position it can be a do as you please situation. "Take your time" is a motto many follow. Aethetics can play a role, even sadism.
May-17-20  sneaky pete: Kasparov is a thief. That improvement 34... Bxg2+ 35.Kxg2 Bxh4 was indicated by Staunton in The Chess Player's Chronicle.
