Feb-19-06 Kasparov vs Y Anikaev, 1979 
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: Young Kasparov is an extraordinary
player - even in defeat. |

Feb-19-06 Kasparov vs M Vukic, 1979
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: Great game by the White side here.
And there was no reason for Vukic
to decry being swept away by
young Gazz. Garry is already more
talented and tactically superior to
the great majority of his rivals. |

Feb-19-06 E Magerramov vs Kasparov, 1979
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: This is a magnificent game by
Magerramov! It often takes a great
game to defeat a great player. |

| rubbermeetsroad: 34 Bb8 is better. |

Feb-19-06 O Averkin vs Kasparov, 1979
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: Because...Orest appears to know
this opening quite well. |

Jan-06-06 A Yusupov vs Kasparov, 1989
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: OK, so finally the answer is that
Tal, Petrosian, and Resshevsky didn't
ever have to worry about playing
b3 at all, since Bobby's incorrect
placement of the QN on d7 wasn't
compelling White to worry about Black
playing ...a4! One more look at the
latest game ... |

Jan-06-06 Gulko vs Kasparov, 1995
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: Gazz, that's fascinating - so the
only real diff. is the placement of
the Black QN at a6 with the prior
...a5! in, holding up White's aspirations on the queenside, which is where Tal, Petrosian, and Reshevsky
were blasting thru.
Could it really be that simple?

Jan-06-06 Tal vs Fischer, 1959
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: In the same tournament, Petrosian
later would bust Bobby's whole line
(with 12...Ng5) flat against
Gligo. Let's catch that too.
I can't emphasize enough the enormous
value of comparing these cases if
one knows the references. |

Jan-06-06 Tal vs Fischer, 1959
| |
| rubbermeetsroad: This is quite a brilliant game by
Tal. The issue is mainly development.
I suppose on 22...Qg5, either
23 Qxg5 hxg5 24 Rxf5, unless
23 Qxc7! works, which it well might.
On 22...Qg7, which also still hits
the knight, I suppose it can just
move ( 23 Ne2) or ... |
