Apr-20-06 Kasparov vs L Zaid, 1977 
| |
| HamasHamas: A doubly impressive game for young
Garry, who has already been whipped
twice by his opponent. This is a game
of a future World Champion, for
overall brilliance and maturity
at such a young age. |

Apr-20-06 V Dydyshko vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: Brutal technique by White. This is
Jeremy Silman's opening as White.
Yaz once tried to use it against
Bob Gelfand to bust the King's Indian. Rechecking that game couldn't hurt. |

Apr-20-06 N Kagan vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: 38 Kc2 obviously draws.
After 38 Rf5 (also playable) Rg2
39 b4?? is suicidal, allowing
Black's King in, when White's is
pinned down. Not moving the b-pawn
will still hold for White. |

Apr-20-06 Kholmov vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: The above note is wrong, and after
45...Kg6? 46 d5! is a winning
breakthru, with Black's King going
the wrong way. Kholmov was always
a very strong player. |

Apr-20-06 N Andrianov vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: VERY nice and cool-headed game
by Andrianov. We must check to see
if he is in the database... |

Apr-20-06 G Timoscenko vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: 26 + 27 !
'Play for material gain. Whatever
your opponent gives, you take, unless
you see a good reason not to.'
41...Kg8 42 Ra1! f5 ( 42...f6
43 Ra8+ Kf7 44 Qd7 mate; 42...Kf8
43 Qh8+ Ke7 44 Ra7+ wins.)
43 Ra8+ Kf7 44 Qh8 wins. |

Apr-20-06 M Shereshevsky vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: Impressive game. There are games
where young Garry seems fully
mature, and altho 18...Ne5!? was
needless, it did give him his brand
of game. |

Apr-20-06 Kasparov vs R Akopov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: 17 Has Black really equalized?
He's way behind in development.
17...Qc6? Misplacing the queen.
Better is 17...Qe7! If 18 Nd5 then,
you just take, and develop. If the
pawn recaptures, you just temporarily block with the queen, if you're afraid of d6. Yet even better
... |

Apr-20-06 Kasparov vs Mayorov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: 14 Bf5?!
A plan to assault d5 is easily
brushed off, and here 14 a3! would
be a good preface. Is young Garry
possibly expecting 14...f5??! then?
17...Bd6
Black engages in some needless,
complicating TRANSFORMATIONS here,
and on the next move. On both of
these ... |

Apr-20-06 Y Nikolaevsky vs Kasparov, 1978
| |
| HamasHamas: 16 c5?
'Harum Scarem' - Reuben Fine
Indeed. This move is shamefully
impulsive from Nikolaevsky, who
probably isn't a kid himself here.
After Black's strong reply, his
teenage opponent out-tactics him
in the remainder.
17 h3
He is forced to run after himself ... |
