| Apr-12-13 | | Patriot: 22...Nxb3 23.cxb3 Qa5 24.h6 g6 and resigns? Wait...white may have another option: 25.Bd3 so that 25...Bxc3 26.Qxc3 Qa2+ 27.Kc1 Qa1+ 28.Bb1 or 28.Kd2. This looks defendable. 22...Nxc2 23.Qxc2 Rxb3 looks very attractive.
22...Nxc2 23.h6 g6 doesn't seem to help matters.
22...Nxc2 23.Nxc5 Qxc5 24.Qxc2 Qxc3 etc. looks good.
22...Nxc2 23.Nxc5 Qxc5 24.Kxc2 Rfc8 25.Rc1 Qb4 26.b3 Bxc3  . 22...Nxc2 looks pretty good. |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | Patriot: My last line <22...Nxc2 23.Nxc5 Qxc5 24.Kxc2...> is ok to that point but 24...Rxb2+ is the key. I considered it but wasn't convinced. |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | Patriot: The very first line I considered was way off. It definitely had visualization errors. |

| Apr-12-13 | | Geronimo: <AutumnLord> I do think we can least say that the invention of modern computers and the Internet represents at least a "Gutenberg Moment" if not a Copernican one. The social availability of knowledge has expanded to previously unimaginable depths/heights and the speed of information transmission is undeniably of a qualitative - not merely quantitative - transformative effect on many or most human endeavor, not just chess. That said, the problem with others' comparisons between Tal or Morphy and Kasparov or Kramnik is that the exercise is anachronistic and thus of dubious potential for historical accuracy. The more interesting thought experiment is to ask: If Tal were alive today and using all contemporary tools, how strong would he be next to current GMs? This is harder to calculate. I looked for a long time at bringing the queen down the a file after 22...Nxb3; 23. cxb3 in my typical smash through the front door manner. Thought I has it too. Thanks <Patriot> for the comprehensive refutation. |

| Apr-12-13 | | fisayo123: Garry Kasparov beat Michael Adams 10 to 0, with 8 draws. |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | M.Hassan: I went with 22...Nxb3 to cause doubled pawns for White on b file. After 11 moves, Black and White were still equal.No need to post the details as it can not be correct. |
|
| Apr-12-13 | | DarthStapler: I got the first move |
|
| Aug-02-13 | | MarkFinan: It was only a few hours ago i.was bemoaning the options of a Knight on b3 in the Najdorf, and then i take a look a this game with Stockfish 3 on my android phone (The app re-names it.. Droidfish! This isn't the engine you're looking for, move along lol) and see that its actually the losing move!
I let the engine run for 3mins looking at move 22, and whites up.. The eval shows >=1.17 in Whites favor, then once 22.Nb3 has been played it goes >=2.18 in blacks favour! 3Mins a depth of 16 moves..
Castling queen side wss a bit of a blunder too. |

|
| Dec-21-13 | | nummerzwei: <acirce: Really I don't think this is such a great game. A pretty regular attacks-on-opposite-wings one. Sure, a lot of us patzers here were stunned by Kasparov "castling into it" and what seemed like it was going to be a dangerous Adams attack, but it doesn't take a superhuman to understand that White never really had anything special. Larry Christiansen had that impression from the beginning, for example. Then Adams just collapsed as early as in move 22. A good game, yes, but not one of the best of the tournament.> (p.31) I agree totally. Kasparov's strategy was flawless and he placed his pieces on their ideal squares, but the combination that Adams's 22. Nb3 fails to is not particularly complex and certainly does not stand out in Kasparov's collection. |
|
| May-18-14 | | Everett: For good or ill, unless I'm playing some kind of KID structure, I am a fan of delayed castling. Here Adams I think makes a mistake by castling into it. I would prefer a different take on the opening, keeping my options open and gaining space on the k-side with 11.g4 Y Xu vs Yifan Hou, 2010 |
|
| Jul-26-14 | | SpiritedReposte: Kasparov's last victorious game at the prestigious Linares tournament. He really beat Adams 10-0 with 8 draws? That's amazing. He's also got crazy lopsided results against Anand and Shirov....and probably everyone else not named Karpov...or Kramnik. Kasparov was a giant among giants! |
|
Jul-26-14
 | | JointheArmy: <SpritiedReposte> Not to mention, that was when Adams was actually good. Despite his recent win, you see players like Caruana struggle against Adams even today. |

| Jul-06-17 | | ACMEKINGKRUSHER: We have an Opportunity to LEARN Here! After looking at the past Kibitzing I found that some individuals were Besmerching Mr. PAUL MORPHY!! READ YOUR HISTORY! M O R P H Y DOMINATED EVERYONE THAT he Played. THERE really was NO ONE Left to Beat. He even played Many games "AT ODDS" to make it interesting. He even CHASED Europeans & WON! DO NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MORPHY! He was the BEST we EVER Came up with in The U.S. Fischer might come close! As to WORLD CHAMPIONS ... I would love to call them in for a SWISS. INVITE also any and ALL of The GREATS Playing at their Best! Then we can answer that "BEST EVER" Question once and for ALL TIME. Since We Obviously can't then we should concentrate on Current Champs. Look how MAGNUS DOMINATED his last Tournament! Look how he did in NORWAY? What a difference? At our CLUB in HAMMOND,In. We have noticed that IT'S Really TRUE that Everyone has their DAY. We ALL have Days when WE CANNOT BE BEATEN! The Moves are there! Then there are the days when you LOSE to EVERYBODY!? Everyone has Good and Bad Days. WC's, GM's and the rest just seem to be able to "PUT IT ALL TOGETHER" MORE OFTEN than us Regular Guys. Study Helps! PLAYING also helps! RIP MORPHY & FISCHER!!! LONG LIVE Current W.C. M-A-G-N-U-S & Future Star PRAGGA! |

| Mar-10-19 | | Inocencio: Conspiracy theory! The black's queen, bishop, knight and rook ganged up against white's king at the right place at the right time. No way, can the white's king escape the murderous attack by black with superiority of force. |

| Apr-27-24 | | mk volkov: "Unfortunately, this miniature wasn't the ending of the tournament. It was de facto already won: winning 3 games in a row and having 7.5/10, 2 rounds before the finish I was 1.5 points ahead of 2nd and 3rd - Anand and Topalov. I had to battle against them, but I didn't have power for the serious playing, besides, the thought that these are my last games of the professional career was a terrible pressure." (Kasparov. "My Chess Way III. The Final Point") |

 | | plang: One idea behind Kasparov's new idea 10..Nc6 is that with a White pawn on a3 the ..b4 break becomes an effective strategy. Some people criticize Kasparov for his dependence on preparation but what sets Kasparov apart is his ability to accurately assess the complicated positions that occur in sharp openings such as this. 19 Rdg1 was the first time that Adams departed from Kasparov's home analysis. Kasparov had concentrated on 19 Bg5! which does seem to be a more dangerous continuation. McDonald after 19 Rdh1:
"A race has developed between White's assault on the kingside , and Black's counterattack on the queenside White will win if he conquers the g7 square, while Black will similarly triumph if he gains mastery over the b2 square. Over the next few moves, Black's dark squared bishop will succeed in both defending g7 and attacking b2; White's dark squared bishop, on the other hand, misses the moment to attack g7 and is unable to defend b2. And so, Black's attack has more potency and he wins." Kasparov spent 40 minutes on 19..Ba8! which turned out to be a key moment in the game. 22 Nb3? was a blunder but Black already had a quicker attack. 27 Qxc2..Rfc8 29 Qxc8..Rxb2+! mating. |

| | perfidious: <plang....Some people criticize Kasparov for his dependence on preparation but what sets Kasparov apart is his ability to accurately assess the complicated positions that occur in sharp openings such as this....> The criticism to which you allude is as foolish as the Soviet line that Fischer preferred simple positions. Kasparov was brilliant in these knife-edge middlegames, backed, as you say by superb preparation; it is noteworthy that, after their 1985 match, Karpov no longer dared carry the fight to his opponent with 1.e4, only to face the almost inevitable Sicilian in reply. |
