Nov-02-05  yunis: interesting!!
Aug-19-06  mannetje: Kasparov sac. his b-pawn for a thematical break with d5. Interesting to see how both sides are trying to occupy te 5e rank. The white pawn on c4 and the classical break with b5 and d5 make this look like a Maroczy Bind.

Nov-27-11  indoknight: The move of the match is 40...Rxb2!! black still win if white move 45.Rf3 because 45...Re5+ 46.Kd2 Qe1+ 47.Kc2 d3+!!

  ToTheDeath: A really nice game. Kasparov carefully prepares the pawn breaks on b5 and d5 and overpowers Huebner tactically in the ensuing melee.
