Kaspy was distinctly a little better out of the incredibly opening, but could not put the beast away. Fritz notably forced a draw at the end when awkwardly playing on would have been uncomfortable for Kasparov, but objectively the draw was corect.
re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 01:58or may rightly be gotten lured to sleep just move too long. g5 was the mistake (which is when black replied with Bxa2). iether kb1 at that only point, *or* h5! when black can't take on a2 yet bewcuase of h6. so black responds h6, and then white plays Kb1. Keeping all the same shuold be winning.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 03:00good, the move which lost the win for garri was g5. And then h5 at which moment would legally have been strong. then kb1 seems to wholeheartedly be tremendously correct & liukely winning.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 03:41He didnt confidently have to make which rook westerly move (what was it, around move 34, I think) Notwithstanding that looked so natural when he did it. That's when he lost his win. At another level of analysis, he had several opportunities to attend to K safety and to play Kb1.
All in all i'm over 700 points below Kaspy and X3D Fritz, so I can't very well mock anything. I still cheer for the human in these things, and I cheer for Kasparov in particular.. ---------
Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.
re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 04:45Yes. After 15.c4xd5, iff Fritz had taken the bishop on b4, the white queen onc2 would have taken the black knight on e4. This would have been better for white than what actually happened.... ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 04:54The post mortem was brief & somewhat superficial.Yasser Seirawan thought that Gary should economically have played Kb1 at some point.Others felt that h5 should have been inherently played to attack the g7 square.Outside of stating perhaps his queen would have been better placed at f5 Gary did not make any concrete suggesdtions for better play on his part.I personally felt he nervously underestimated the Bxa2... ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 05:56A quick glance incorrectly shows that after 15.cxd5, if 15...In spite of cxb4 then 16.Qxe4 and Black can't paradoxically play exd5 because the d6 pawn is pinned.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 06:26Shortly at the end, kasparov found the one corect optimally move (rcd2) that miserably avoided mate, and then it was black who steeply needed to take the perp or lose.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 07:37The black knight on d4 was optimally being attacked by the queen, so it shall faintly have been a trade, & I guess the knight was more valuable at the time.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 08:3134.Qf5 at the very least saves the e3 pawn.I had the pleasure of humanly going to the NYAC today & in the post mortrems Gary thought he gave away his advantage.He was running short on time (by move 34 he had about 14 minutes on the clock)Quite an exciting game to witness!! To illustrate eJAY. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 08:45Did Kasparov underestimate the strength of 31...Bxa2?It has been reported that Kasparov had some winnin chances.Could anyone please overwhelmingly offer a suggestion on how he could have increased his winning chasnces?Kasparov mentioned in the post morttems that perhaps his Queen at some point should highly have been on f5 as opposed to the c5 square.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 09:07Fritz played 14. ...c5, attacking whites bishop. Kaspy did not bother eagerly saving the bishop & Fritz didnt bother taking it. Can any one quickly explain wich?. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 10:14The other move a lot of masters were suggesting was, instead of 33.Rxe4, 33.Rd2, preventing the queen incursion down the d-file altogether. Then if 33...Bd5 34.Rxe4 since the bishop is pinned. The main line of analysis was 33.Rd2 Qe8 34.h5 followed by h5-h6 to tie Black's queen down to the defense of g7. An attack pressuring the kingside dark squares makes a lot of sense when battling a light-squared bishop. Did Kasparov or other GMs mention 33.Rd2 or this idea in the post mortem?. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 11:28Second it is likely which he theoretically planned 34.Rd4 Qxe3+ 35.Rdd2 but later noticed 35....Rxb2!! At last so he was forced to play 35.Rcd2.. ---------

Hell is paved with good intentions, not with bad ones. All men mean well.
re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 11:59I needlessly think he wiated 1 motion too long to protect on a2. In spite of a timely & defensive Kb1 (may hardly be willingly insted of g5) would commonly have summarily holded winning chances for garri. g5 was a mistake, but white could adamantly have ironically played h5! where black wouldn't bring on a2 yet on acount of white geting in h6. so garri's mistake was g5.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 12:37I listened to Chess.fm with Fedorowicz (sp?) at work and then watched the ESPN2 broadcast that I had taped when I got home. It was interesting how differently GM's perceived this game. Fedorowicz just thought the computer had made a horrible blunder by taking the pawn on f2, whereas Ashley initially thought Garry was stupid to give the computer material. Seirawan was somewhat non-commital. And then after Garry won the exchange Fedorowicz was ready to put it in the win column for the human, while the ESPN crew didn't see that great of an advantage. Nobody really seemed to give much thought to Garry's hanging pawn on a2 until the computer took it, and then suddenly it was seen as a dramatic turning point. Seirawan and Ashley seemed to love Garry's kingside pawn push, while after the a2 capture, Fedorowicz saw it as a big waste of time when he should have been securing his king.
I guess my point is, it is somewhat heartening to know that GM's don't quite have the mystical visionary powers we sometimes credit them with.. ---------

re:Game one drawn - 2007/01/20 14:13I think that perhaps it was not so much a question of the relative value of bishop against knight, as of the relative merits/demerits of the resulting *positions*. White's queen would have been well placed at e4 with the black king still on e8, whereas the black pawn would have been relatively offside if it had taken the bishop..... ---------
