    After an absence of nearly a year from tournament chess, Kasparov roared back with a resounding victory of 10-3 at the 61st Hoogovens Chess Festival, 1/2 point ahead of Anand and two full points ahead of Kramnik, his two most dangerous rivals, and in the process produced this genuine masterpiece. He was rewarded with a brilliancy prize for what is arguably the finest attacking game of his career. At the daily news conference, the visibly relaxed and smiling champion was a totally different man from the Kasparov who had paced the stage in the playing hall, while waiting for his victim to make moves.

    Thanks for sharing.

    But can someone add comments on these moves, otherwise many would just look at these moves as not understand much (this happened to me).

    I searched for this opening moves and found the following.

    But I could not understand much from that as well.

    If someone could add comments to the moves, that wouls help us a lot.

    Thanks

    Even as a novice player I learned a lot from asking myself why a move was made. I treated each move of the above game as a separate chess puzzle, striving to come up with the best reason for each move. Most of the time I was wrong but I learn from my losses.

    Kasparov always beats Topalov. They are not comparable.
