Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-19-11  AnalyzeThis: When Kasparov offers you a draw after 14 moves, you take it!
Dec-01-13  offramp: Perhaps there was some other event taking place that day - a football match, an anniversary - that led to a sparse audience.

A 14-move draw as white is not very Kasparovian.

Mar-07-15  whiteshark: This game has been played on Smyslov's 63rd birthday. This might explain the length of the game.

No, it wasn't. It was postponed on Kasparov's request, perhaps as a courtesy.
