22. Bxd6 |
not 22.Nb2 as 22...Nxb2 23.Qxb2 g4 24.Be2 Rc2 wins a piece. h4 is the only altenative here when 22...Ne4! is winning but i don't want to bore you with the huge amount of variations here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qxd6 23. g3 |
white gives his bishop a retreat square so black is once again faced with the problem of preventing Nb2. Kasparov would have had to have seen this at least as early as move 21 else 21...g5 would not have made much sense. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Nd7 |
!! genius, 24.Nb2 Qf6!! 25.Nxd3 Bxd3 26.Bg4 (26.Qxd3?? Ne5! is the sensational point) 26...Ne5! and black is winning | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Bg2 |
another try is 24.Nc4 which is well met with 24...N7e5 but the variations that arise after this are too long to go into here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Qf6 |
! Blacks master piece is complete, the white forces are helpless they must merely wait for whatever fate has in store | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. a3 a5 26. axb4 axb4 27. Qa2 |
pitiful, white is reduced to bringing the queen to a2 where she achieves nothing to threaten to bring a knight to d2, a threat that is easily parryed by black | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Bg6 |
opening the queens line to f2, preparing to refute whites only "active" idea | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. d6 |
white needs to try something else black will have no problems, building his attack at his lesure. 28.Nd2 fails to 28...Re2 when black crashes through on f2 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... g4 |
black is not interested in the measly d pawn 28...Qxd6 allows black to start freeing himself with 29.Nd2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Qd2 |
the queen returns having achieved absolutely nothing | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Kg7 |
black calmly defends the h pawn, there is no rush | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30. f3 |
white trys to break free at his kings expence. 30.f4 is met with 30...Bf5 calmly stopping the pawn before taking advantage of the newly weakened king | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30... Qxd6 |
black can now capture the pawn as the kings position has been sufficiently weakened. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. fxg4 Qd4+ 32. Kh1 Nf6 |
! threatening Nxg4 and Ne4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Rf4 |
33.h3 loses to 33...Re3 when white can no longer defend | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Ne4 34. Qxd3 |
the knight was a key piece in the downfall of the white position and survived on d3 for no less than 18 moves. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Nf2+ 35. Rxf2 |
forced as 35.Kg1 loses to 35...Nh3 36.Kh1 Qxd3 37.Rxd3 Re1 38.Bf1 (38.Rf1 leads to mate) 38...Nxf4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Bxd3 |
now there is an explosion of one sided tactics as Kasparov rounds of this perfect game | ||||||
| | |||||||
