| Jan-19-05 | | mj29479: it seems garry "the kid" was not so good as he is now as "garry-the-anti-fide-man" :)) if you computer check the game it will be seen that he missed an obvious mate and nearly contributed to the collection of 'white to play and ruin the game' :)). |
|
| Mar-13-05 | | Orbitkind: Please tell me where the obvious mate is. If you mean 25.Qh5+ etc then you are wrong because the black king slips the net. |
|
| Mar-13-05 | | hintza: <Orbitkind> There is surprisingly no defence for Black after 27.Bg3!, where White threatens g6# next move. Mate in three after 27.Bg3, I am fairly certain. |
|
| Mar-13-05 | | Orbitkind: But Kasparov won by move 32 so does it really matter if he could have won by move 30 in the context of the game? He obviously found a win even if not quite as efficient. Players are people and not computer therefore likely to make a less efficient forced win than a computer sometimes. But efficiency is to be praised as Capablanca probably would have said. |
|
| Mar-13-05 | | hintza: <Orbitkind> He won anyway, so yes the fact that he missed an earlier win does not matter as much. But since you asked where the mate was, I posted it for you. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | goragoragora: Interesting to see Garry taking
the White side of this, since the
Black side would later be touted in
Borik's book on Kasparov (rather
mistakingly, I felt.
Later, if 31...Kf5 32 Kf3! looks
like a cute point. |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | dfotarou10: I think that 28. Qg4 is a mate unless I am missing something. |
|
| Sep-18-07 | | dfotarou10: My mistake he can play 28. Kxe5 |
|
| Dec-20-07 | | nimzo knight: 25. d4! is a kind of move which makes you a master (of course Garry proved to be much more than that). I think 25.. Ng7 will be replied by 26. Rh1 |
|
| Oct-31-12 | | JIRKA KADLEC: Kasparov - Kantsler:
...19.Ng4 Ng7 20.BG5!! hxg5 21.hxg5 Rh8 22.Nf6+! Kg6 23.Rh1! Nf5 24.Rxh8 Bxh8 25.ND4!? Nxd4 26.Qh5+ Kf5 .... |
|
| Mar-25-13 | | wachter123680: no wonder Kantsler lost, while Garry was busy consolidating his pieces king side, Kantsler remains three unactive pieces to queenside, making no preparation for the incoming slaughter Kaspars had prepared with cunning. |
|
| Mar-25-13 | | wachter123680: Kaspars must have thought this little fifth rank a b c and d pawn wall on 10.. was cute tho. |
|
| Apr-16-13 | | BattleSquare: nice Knight sacrifice in 20.Ng5+ !! |
|
| Oct-24-13 | | MrJafari: It seems Kasparov didn't want to mate sooner intentionally! I detected some position which Kasparov could mate but didn't!! |
|
| Apr-13-15 | | whiteshark: Kasparov's move was indeed <20.Bg5!!>

I saw @hintza mention 27.Bg3 and wanted to confirm that move. Move confirmed below. 27.Bg3 Bxf6 28. gxf6+ Ke4 29. Qg4#
Or 27. Bg3 Nf3 28. Qxf3+ Kxg5 29. Qg4+ Kh6 30. Bf4# |

 | | Williebob: This game score has been corrected at least once since it was posted years ago, but the current score does match the ChessBase MegaBase that <whiteshark> kibitzed above. The reference to New in Chess from <Patzer Natmas> indicates possible confusion, but I don’t have the issue; perhaps this was an alternate line used for their tactical trainer? |

 | | maytintan: <whiteshark> in your game line with 20. Bg5 there is an interesting line after 31.....Kh6, e.g.
32.exf6 Qxf6,33. Rh1+ Kg7,34. Rh7+ Kg8
35.Rxf7 Qh8 36. Qd6 Qh4 37. Qxe6 Qg5+
38.Kf3 Qh5+ 39. Ke3 Qh6+ 40. Rf4+ 1:0
