Oct-20-05  Albertan: Kasparov could have won a knight via 25...Rf2:

25... Rf2 26.Nd3 Qxe4 27. fxe4 Nxd3 28. Kg1 Nb2 29. Kxf2 Nxd1+

May-17-08  IgorTeplyi: Thats what Rook on 7th rank means. I enjoyed Kasparovs Rb8-b2 and Qe5-g5.

  alexrawlings: <Albertan> I don't white has to play 26 Nd3 in your line, he could also try 26 Kg1 or 26 h3
Feb-21-10  okiesooner: After 25...Rf2 26. Kg1, Black has a forced mate with 26...Nh3+ 27. gxh3 Qxh2# or 27. Kh1 Rf1#.

  Open Defence: I was trying to make 10.d6 work, say after

10...e5 11.Be3 (O-O is also possible) Qd6 12.Rd1

Now 12...Qb6 O-O 13.O-O Be6 14.Nd5 Bxd5 (Rad8?? or Rfd8?? then Nxb6) 15.exd5 Qd6 16.Nd2 Qxd5 17.Qa4 e4 18.Nc4 Qe6 19.Nd6 Nd5 20.Bc4 it actually is a double pawn sacrifice but I think White is ok
