Saw this game today. Found it fascinating to look at. Just wanted to share this.

It was a realy interesting match. My maths teacher at shool took a group of us in the school mini-bus to see the match in London. Even though 'our man' Nigel got quite badly beaten it was still fascinating to watch.

Just to note this wasn't one of the match games, it was one of the themed opening exhibition games afterwards.

I think they didn't finish all those, did they? Wasn't their some strange variation of the King's gambit played in one of the themed games which was just winning for one side, and Kasparov wasn't impressed. Or am I mis-remembering?

Not sure Chyss, I do have a similar memory though - I think it was that one of the openings as you say was just really poor and Kasparov wasn't happy, and didn't really try his hardest in that game as a result.
