garry did not take the white queen? what happened?

28.... Nf4 double check, and check mate in a few moves, ...

novski - If 27 ... Qxe2, 28 Nf4+ Kf5 29 Rxf7+ Kg5, 30 Nxe2  and white is up a piece and a pawn.

what a great fight,

beautiful sacrifice of knight,

by white,

good night.

nice

Black resigned because of Qc1 Qc4+ Kf5 (Kf6 would be the same) then Rxf7+ Kh5 Ne4+ losing the queen.

If Qa1 then Qc4+ Kf6 Rxf7+ Kg5 dxe5 and the mate cannot be stopped- for example Qxb2+ Kg3 the mate on Qh4 would soon follow

Notice that this is a simultan. Garry would beat him if it was a normal game

Black's queen can move to c1 which will be followed by 30. qc4+ and eventually mate, or f5 which will be followed still with 30. qc4+  Black's choices consist of losing or losing....

white did a great job. You have to play pretty much flawlessly if you want to beat Kasparov
