Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-13-04  patzer2: Kasparov wins with two quiet moves in succession. Kasparov's 42...Rd3! is a forceful winning move. The threat of the decisive 43...Rd2!, which follows, appears unstoppable.

In the final position, Black must give up decisive material to prevent mate (e.g. 44. Rb8+ Kh7 45. Rb7+ Kh6 46. Rb1 Rg2+ 47. Kf1 Nd7+ ).
