Feb-19-06  rubbermeetsroad: Is this a tournament game?
Feb-19-06  rubbermeetsroad: Because...Orest appears to know
this opening quite well.
Jun-21-06  Xuorarch: Well even I recognize the moves up to move 15 or 16 as book moves, and I don't even have a rating.
May-09-07  orangelights: Is it just me or do you agree Kasparov could have continued playing for a win here? I don't see how white prevents blacks king from reaching the fifth rank at which point clearly black has all the chances. Isn't this close to a dream come true for black? To reach an endgame with the d6-g3 pawn chain in place, no pieces in black's territory, and to not have the problematic dark square bishop still on the board.
