Nice counter play by Kasparov for the victory!

After 26 Qd4+, White will be in trouble. Black can reply with 26. ... Qxd4. Of course White is forced to take Black Queen (27. cxd4) and Black's next move will gain a Bishop (27. ... Nd2+). 

I still say 26. Qd4+ would have saved everything for white

just a nice fight! how i wish , I could also play with Kasparove someday......

Very nice Kasparov's demonstration how to play chess and how to defend when you play with blacks. Also this is an example of how important castle is. Whites didn't move the roots at all!!

It is an example of Anand's weak thinking about his own defence and he could not bring his two rooks at the same side. He was too busy to attack Kasparpove's defence.

More and more attack and counter-attack lines are being discovered. One would say that the games nowadays are getting boring if he cannot cope with the evolution.

Now a days games are seemed losing creative moves,innovative moves and going to be bored like old game practice. Can anybodu show how we can get out of it?.. .. .. Mamun

good job

nice game...

 

Wow! I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot for that clear explanation.

well it can be considered a tempo loss because the bishop stays on the same diagnal, infact losing the control of squares like c5. but on the other hand the bishop is protected by the pawns instead of being open to an attack possibly. anyhow i dont think its a tempo loss because the very next move of black can be Na5, attacking the bishop and the bishop will end up on th same square since the a2-h8 diagnal is very important.

one other explanation is explained by the very next balck's text move, Rc8. the rook is very well placed on the half open file. the bishop retreat can be explained via this move by the next possible discovered attacks in the up coming moves by moving the Knight on c6. ...and this move is very common in the dragan variation because there has been a lot of theory and investigation on the move in the past. hope u understand, Xerses  

Please, could someone explain  11. Bb3 ?

It seems a tempo loss, even considered 14. Bc4...

All of those players hated draws. I am sure they would do something that would tip the balance one way or the other!

Thanks for your comment Sir. As for the possible result of Garry-Bobby or Garry-Jose Raoul encounter, I think that, at least 95% of the time the game will end up in a draw. Well, that's just how I see it.

Nice game. It took me a while to figure out that after White takes the Knight, Black plays Rf6+, followed by Rxe4+ and White doesn't look too good from threats of Rf2 and Rfe6. The reason why I don't really analyze Gary's games is coz they are too deep for me. It takes me forever to see things. I prefer Capablanca, and Fischer. It would be interesting to see how Kasparov would have faired against Fischer. Would he have had opportunities to create those complications? We will never know!

Hi guys! I'm sorry for not being able to provide some annotation in this game. Anyway, White resigned after 25... Ne4 because he will just end up losing. First, because that Black's last move threatened his Queen and mate in 26... Qf2. To parry the threat he has to reply 26.Qe1 since he must also guard the g3 square. 26.Qd4+ is not a good reply either since it lead to the demise of his bishop (26... QxQ 27.cxQ Nd2+). Putting his Queen at e1 will lead to a more crumpled position.

He can't take the Knight (26.fxN) in view of 26...Rf6+ which can lead to bigger trouble.
