In this game, two chess greats go against each other, combining attack with defense in an all-out attempt to win. The game is extremely complex, some of the correct moves still unclear.
nice
"Why not 24. Rfb1 trapping the queen?"
I think the following may happen:
If
24.Rfb1 then 24. ...Nf3+
25.Qxf3 then ...Qxd2
If 25.Bxf3 then ...Rxe2+
If King moves then 25. ...Qxd2
Why not 24. Rfb1 trapping the queen?
why not 27 Nxb2?
As the title indicates you can find detailed notes in Kasparov's book "The test of time".
This is a very famous game-- There is a story behind it... I think it was the first time a Russian shook Korchnoi's hand since he had fled former Soviet Union. Does anyone remember?
Another very nice game example of Kasparov's energy and stregnth to calculate further...in sacrificing a piece for the hunt of the King and pulling a convincing win.
We will miss him for this kind of game...
Regarding "why not g4?". I think the continuation will lead to strong attack on the king by Bxg4.
That's a nice game. You'd really need to take alot of time or the help of an engine to see why each side played their moves. The game is so complex!
Thanks for posting.
great game, nice sac by good ol kasparov
I'm just taking a stab at this one. If fxe5, Bxe5 leaving an attack on the white king. Kasparov offered the knight for that very reason. Please note that this is the same line that was reached on move 24. The other lines I can see all lead to the same position. Bxe5 with an attack on the king. What i really want to know is why not g4? Wouldn't that drive the knight from h5?
why not 20 fxe5?
