|
May-26-05 | | themindset: i wouldn't consider so much a "win" by chandler, as a loss by kasparov. he was just over-stretching his position a bit too much, and chandler was cool enough to pick up the win. |
|
May-26-05 | | rexeterna: Wait, was Kasparov #1 in the world at this time? I'm getting mixed reports. |

 | | perfidious: This was a junior event-Kasparov was 13, Chandler a 'greybeard' at 16. |
|
Jan-29-06 | | OKKarpovisgreat: Young Gazz is an impulsive player
who frequently over-rates his
position, being also less able to
recover from a bad opening. |
|
Feb-22-06 | | thundershock2k: whoa, this guy has 2 wins over kasparov! thats pretty crazy |
|

 | | Jonathan Sarfati: Kaspy was playing a simul in the other game, and Chandler wasn't going to be the first GM to lose in a simul. |
|

 | | Richard Taylor: Murray Chandler (NZ's only GM!) eventually was in the top 20 or so players in the world at one stage. Probably in the mid 80s. I think he gave Kasparov a good thrashing here - as he well deserved.. |
|
Sep-27-08 | | just a kid: Kasparov basically made his own defeat. |
|
Mar-10-09 | | VaselineTopLove: Can this be called an Alapin? How's this not an Alekhine's defense? |
|
Mar-10-09 | | blacksburg: well, the first 2 moves are <1.e4 c5>. that usually means it's a Sicilian. and 2...Nf6 is the most common move in the Alapin. |
|
Mar-10-09 | | acirce: For the same reason that 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 is not the Pirc. |
|
May-03-09 | | butilikefur: What is wrong with 38. Qd6+ ?
38...Ka7 (38...Rc7 39. Rxb7+ mates)
39. Rxb7+ Rxb7 40. Qc5+ Kb8 41. c7+ Rxc7 42. Rb3+ Rb7 (42...Ka8 43. Qf8+ Ka7 44. Qb8+ mate) 43. Qd6+ Ka7 (43...Kc8 44. Bxe6+ Rd7 45. Qb8+ mate)
44. Qxa6+ mates. |

Dec-25-15 | | joddon: never seen kasparov with such a weak center....murray capitalises with a waiting queen on e1....good anticipation here with whites pieces!! |
|
Aug-21-16 | | MrJafari: White played excellent and why Kasparov played 41 and then resigned?! |
|
Aug-21-16 | | WorstPlayerEver: Hip hip Murray! |

 | | Fusilli: <MrJafari: White played excellent and why Kasparov played 41 and then resigned?!> Why not? He has the right to lose any way he chooses. In the final position, white could take the rook on c8 and mate follows, or also play Qb6+, Rxc8+, Be6+ and Rc8 mate. |
|

 | | perfidious: Perhaps this game was adjourned, with White's sealed move not being included in the game score, a not uncommon occurrence in those days, or they blitzed through the time check and Kasparov gave up the ghost once he came to his senses. |
|
Oct-27-16 | | MrJafari: @Fusilli @perfidious:
Thank you for your attention and comments! |
