[Event "New York"] [Site "?"] [Round "0"] [White "DEEP THOUGHT"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "B22"] [Opening "Sicilian: Alapin, 2...e6 3.d4 d5"] 1. e4 c5 2. c3 {It is truly a pity that the programmers chose this wimpy variation for such an important encounter!} 2... e6 3. d4 d5 { This position resembles a French Defense.} 4. exd5 { 4.e5 Transposes to the Advanced variation of the French Defense.} 4... exd5 5. Nf3 Bd6 6. Be3 c4 { Hampering White's natural development by taking away the d3 square.} 7. b3 cxb3 8. axb3 Ne7 {Before this game 8...Nf6 was favored leading to a slight advantage for White. However, after this game no one plays 8...Nf6 anymore!} 9. Na3 Nbc6 10. Nb5 {Although most commentators think this move loses time, this is wrong since Black also losses time with his bishop.} 10... Bb8 11. Bd3 Bf5 { With the majority of White's pawns standing on dark squares Black welcomes the exchange of White's good bishop.} 12. c4 {We were later informed that the computer had a bug in it that gave other moves priority over castling! Perhaps the computer was hooked up to a 900 number?} 12... O-O 13. Ra4 Qd7 14. Nc3 Bc7 15. Bxf5 Qxf5 16. Nh4 Qd7 17. O-O {The computer fails to realize that its pieces belong in the center of the board.} 17... Rad8 18. Re1 Rfe8 {Black has a n obvious advantage thanks to his control of the center which gives his pieces greater mobility. For some reason the computer thought it had the advantage here.} 19. c5 Ba5 {This is the key to Kasparov's winning plan. No computer can look at this position and figure out that a good knight versus bad bishop endgame lies ahead, but even an average human is capable of understanding this. } 20. Qd3 a6 21. h3 Bxc3 22. Qxc3 Nf5 23. Nxf5 Qxf5 { Black has a technically won game due to his good knight against bad bishop.} 24. Ra2 Re6 {Preparing to double on the e-file.} 25. Rae2 Rde8 26. Qd2 f6 27. Qc3 {The main problem with White's position is his inability to engage in an active plan. He can only sit and wait to see where Black will strike.} 27... h5 28. b4 R8e7 29. Kh1 g5 30. Kg1 g4 31. h4 Re4 32. Qb2 Na7 { Black allows White no counter play by controlling the b5 square.} 33. Qd2 R4e6 34. Qc1 {White's play has been gradually reduced to shuffling his queen around with nothing to attack.} 34... Nb5 35. Qd2 Na3 36. Qd1 Kf7 37. Qb3 Nc4 38. Kh2 {38.b5 a5 would be similar to the game continuation.} 38... Re4 39. g3 { With all of White's pawns on dark squares it is hard to tell where the bishop stands.} 39... Qf3 40. b5 a5 {Black's passed a-pawn gives White something else to worry about besides his king.} 41. c6 f5 42. cxb7 Rxb7 43. Kg1 f4 { Shatters White's position.} 44. gxf4 g3 45. Qd1 Rbe7 {Black is now threatening to win material with 46...gxf2+ to which there is no defense.} 46. b6 gxf2+ 47. Rxf2 Qxd1 48. Rxd1 Rxe3 49. Rg2 Nxb6 { Black is simply a piece ahead. The remaining moves were...} 50. Rg5 a4 51. Rxh5 a3 52. Rd2 Re2 { White resigned since he will be unable to stop the promotion of Black's a-pawn. } 0-1
