Nov-11-16  morfishine: Great game no matter how pathetic and irrelevant this dumb game title is...

Nov-12-16  kevin86: White goes down AND hard!
Nov-12-16  Howard: Wasn't this game a GOTD on a previous occasion ?! If not, I find it hard to believe.
Nov-13-16  gareeb: <Howard>. Yes it was ..!!
Apr-03-17  Zhbugnoimt: Unfortunately Kasparov's sac isn't sound.
12.Be3! Bxe3 13.Qa4+ Bd7 14.Qxb4 leaves White with an edge. But still, one of the greatest opening shots of all time. I bet Karpov mentally dumped his pants when he saw that.
Apr-03-17  ChessHigherCat: <Zhbugnoimt: Unfortunately Kasparov's sac isn't sound. 12.Be3! Bxe3 13.Qa4+ Bd7 14.Qxb4>
But Bxe3 isn't forced is it? Black could play 12...Qc7 or Qe7 or Bd6 or even b6. Are all those moves bad?
May-06-17  ZackyMuhammad: 16...♘ d3!!
May-06-17  Joker2048: Nearly hundred times I go through this game and I'm not tired of it... Just perfect play by Garry.
May-06-17  morfishine: Great game no matter how pathetic and irrelevant this dumb game title is...

Just wanted to reiterate that for all you dolts, dim-wits and imbeciles out there

Have a happy and comfy night

We were looking for double r's, not quadruple l's.

Your suggestion would be good for a game by Guillermo Llanos

Jul-02-17  ZackyMuhammad: What after 34. Bxe4? or ♖xe4?. Please, tell me.

  HeMateMe: in most of the capture/recaptures on e4 black wins with a Knight fork on f2 that results in winning the exchange or is up a piece after a Rook check on e1 picks off the Knight on b1.
Jul-24-17  bla bla: why not 35.kg1?
Jul-24-17  Howard: In response to that inquiry...take a look at White's queen, on d3 !
Aug-26-17  thegoodanarchist: I would love to see the time on the players' clocks after moves 16 and 17.
Aug-27-17  Olavi: According to Kasparov, they had analyzed it up to 21...g5. Badly, of course, for they missed 12.Be3. Or is it still playable??!

  keypusher: Olavi -- Stockfish doesn't seem to think it's so bad for Black after Be3. Doesn't seem appetizing for Black though.
