18. Re1 Bd6 19. Ndf1 dxe4 |
Alas, the first damage has been struck and the War has begun. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. dxe4 Bc5 |
Looking for an attack on f3 (Bxf3 ....Kh1), Deep Blue moves his bishop into great position on c5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Ne3 |
Kasparov continues to play solid and defends. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Rad8 22. Nhf1 g4 |
Deep Blue making his attack on whites King's defense. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. hxg4 Nxg4 |
They sacrafice. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. f3 Nxe3 25. Nxe3 Be7 |
Still in it, Deep blue retreats his attack on whites right wing. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Kh1 |
Now Kasparov can move his knight on e3, without being in check. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Bg5 |
Whoa, Deep Blue decides to attack whites knight once more from a different angle. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Re2 a4 28. b4 |
Kasparov could have taken blacks pawn on a4 (bxa4) and not be harmed, but then this piece would be defenseless in later moves, and create and opening on whites Queen side. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... f5 |
Deep Blue still attacking whites King side plays f5. Deep Blue so far has been the more agressive player, but he has attacked with the wrong pieces, as he is losing his pawn defense for his King. If Kasparov does decide to accept this attack (exf5), Deep Blue would be able to advance his pawn onto e4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. exf5 e4 |
You can already start to see Kasparov's Kingside pawn rush coming into play. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30. f4 |
White looks to sacrafice his for blacks bishop, and to clear way for his future attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30... Bxe2 |
Black accepts. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. fxg5 Ne5 |
Black doesn't wish to break up this attack by playing hxg5, but continues its strong attack on whites King. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32. g6 |
The rush has begun, and now there seems to be nothing stopping Kasparov from winning game 1. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Bf3 |
Still looking for a way out by trying to checkmate Kasparov, Deep Blue plays Bishop to f3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Bc3 |
Kasparov is willing to sacrafice bishops though. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Qb5 34. Qf1 |
Here, Kasparov tries to eliminate Deep Blues only lasting threat by Sacraficing Queens. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Qxf1+ 35. Rxf1 h5 |
Looking to make a final blow to whites defense. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36. Kg1 Kf8 37. Bh3 b5 38. Kf2 Kg7 39. g4 Kh6 40. Rg1 hxg4 41. Bxg4 Bxg4 42. Nxg4+ Nxg4+ 43. Rxg4 |
Now, much of the smoke has cleared on the battle field and you can see that nothing is stopping Kasparov from regaining his Queen to win. | ||||||
