Jul-25-04		pencuse: A very good game by Kasparov in Sicilian Dragon that uses pins for a1-h8 diagonal (weakness of knight) and e8 line. ending is brilliant: 40. ... Bg8 (only move) 41. Ne6!! (threatens 42. g7+ Rxg7 43. Qxg7#) -> 41. ... Rxe6 42. g7# -> 41. ... Qxe6 42. g7+ Rxg7 43. Qxe6 -> 41. ... Qxa2+ 42. Kxa2 Rxe6 43. g7#

May-12-05		jaymar: This may be a stupid question but why does black always play 17...Rxc3 What is wrong with Nxc3?

May-12-05		Karpova: the knight is needed to protect h7 (bg7: kg7: qh6+ and mate follows) that's why black plays 17...rc3:

May-12-05		jaymar: Ok thanks.

May-13-05		Karpova: <jaymar> you are welcome!

Nov-23-05		offramp: First round game. Kasparov went on to win this tournament with 12/14 - +10 =4. Second was Kortschnoi with a respectable 8½/14; in fact they were the only two players out of the 8 who had a plus score. Kasparov's rating for the tournament was 2914.

Jul-16-06		Eggman: In his "Roman Lab" DVD series Dzindzichashvili gives the final move here as 40.♕f8+, which does indeed seem much simpler, since after 40...♗g8 41.♕xe7 ♕xa2+ 42.♔c1 ♕a1+ (or 42...♕a3+) 43.♔d2 Black is a Rook down, out of checks, and being mated.

Aug-14-07		LIFE Master AJ: 40.Qf8+ WAS the last move ... see the Informant and the book on this tournament ... as well as the CB version of this game.

Oct-24-08		tpstar: Fritz 7 suggestions: 1) 32. Rxh5? [32. Nb3 and White can hope to live Qb5 33. Kb2 =] 2) 32 ... gxh5 [32 ... Qa3+ 33. Kd2 gxh5 34. Qe2 ] 3) 33 ... Qc4?? [not a good decision, because now the opponent is right back in the game - 33 ... Qa3+ 34. Kd2 e5 35. Qxh5 Qa4 ] 4) 34. Qxh5 [=] 5) 34 ... Qf1+?? [allows the opponent back into the game - 34 ... Rd8!? must be considered] 6) 35. Kb2 [ ] 7) 36 ... Kh8?? [Black falls apart - 36 ... Qh1 37. Rh3 Qxh3 38. Qxh3 exd4 ] Note Fritz 7 is very harsh with "?" and "??" and rarely assigns "!" (especially to humans ;>D). Black will surely get killed in line (7) with RB vs Q, but that does avoid mate. Compare these assessments against [Shredder 9] above posted by <a.dehaybe>. [last book move] = 29 ... Bc6. Dang!

Jul-20-12		HOTDOG: 30...Qxc3! (Timman) and Black is perhaps slightly better, for example 31.Rxe7 Rxe7 32.f6+ Kf8 33.fxe7+ Ke8! 34.Nxc6 bxc6 35.Rh4 Qa1+ and 36...Qxa2

Jul-05-19		Patzer Natmas: Game featured in "New in Chess - Tactics Training -Garry Kasparov" Solve for white on move 36. I didn't see what @pencuse was talking about as bringing the black queen to take on 41...Qxe6 keeps black in the game. I thought I was missing something. I only comment on pencuse as I was looking for the finish from white.

Jul-05-19		beatgiant: <PatzerNatmas> At the time when <pencuse> posted the kibitz, there was an error in the game score that had 40. Rf8+ as the final move.
