[A.J.G.]
**************************************************
This is the first game of the match
between GM Garry Kasparov and Fritz X3D ...
the computer.
"Man vs. Machine" W.C.M.
**************************************************
1.Nf3 d5; 2.c4 c6;
3.d4 Nf6; 4.Nc3 e6; 5.e3 Nbd7; 6.Qc2 Bd6; {Diag?}
A common position in the Slav.
This is the same position as
occurred in game one of Garry's match versus
DEEP_Junior. (C)
7.g4 Bb4;
8.Bd2 Qe7; 9.Rg1 Bxc3; 10.Bxc3 Ne4; 11.0-0-0 Qf6; (TN?)
{D?}
A big surprise by the computer.
Garry now sacrifices a Pawn
for play.
The next series of moves
appear close to being forced.
12.Be2 Nxf2;
13.Rdf1 Ne4; 14.Bb4 c5; 15.cxd5 exd5; 16.dxc5 Qe7;
17.Nd4 0-0;
18.Nf5 Qe5; 19.c6, {Diagram?}
Winning material.
[ Possible was:
19.Bd3!?, {D?} with very dynamic play.
]
19...bxc6;
20.Bxf8 Kxf8; {Diagram?}
A little bit of a shock, all the commentators were expecting Black to capture
instead with the Knight here.
[ Maybe 20...Nxf8!?; instead?
]
21.Ng3 Ndc5;
22.Nxe4 Nxe4; 23.Bd3 Be6; 24.Bxe4, {Diagram?}
Garry played this rather quickly ...
[ I liked the move: 24.Rf4,
{D?} for White at this point. ]
24...dxe4; 25.Rf4 Bd5; 26.Qc5+ Kg8; 27.Rgf1,
{Diagram?}
With the obvious threat of capture on Black's f7-square.
[ Possible was: 27.Rg2!?
]
27...Rb8; 28.R1f2 Qc7;
{See
the diagram, just below.}
This is a very important position.
**********
**********
Now Yaz says Black should think
about safe-guarding his a-pawn ...
and he might be right. Instead Kasparov plays aggressively.
29.Rc2 Qd7;
30.h4 Qd8; 31.g5 Bxa2; 32.Rxe4 Qd3; 33.Rd4 Qxe3+;
{Diag?}
Now the game will resolve itself into a draw. by repetition.
34.Rcd2 Qe1+;
35.Rd1 Qe3+; 36.R1d2 Qg1+; 37.Rd1, {Diagram?}
Here Garry talked to the arbiter ... the parties agreed to split the point.
A
truly great draw.
