I first studied this opening with Michael Wilder, who was the US champion at the time.} a6 6.Ng3 h5 7.h4 Nc6 {After playing this opening perhaps thousands of times, I was stumped. Garry Kasparov made a move I had never seen before (7…Nc6). Then he slowly crushed me. I don’t think I can play this opening ever again. (Greg Shahade…should I use the Classical b4 you played against me in DC 1997?)} 8.d5 Ne5 9.f4 Neg4 10.Be2 c6 11.Qc2 cxd5 12.exd5 b5 13.cxb5 Qb6 14.Rf1 O-O 15.Bd2 axb5 16.Bxb5 Nxd5 17.Nxd5 Qxb5 18.Nc3 Qb7 19.Bc1 f5 20.Qd2 Be6 21.Nh1 Bc4 22.Rf3 Rf6 23.Nf2 Re6+ 24.Kd1 Bxc3 25.bxc3 Bb3+ 26.axb3 Rxa1 27.Kc2 Qa8 28.Bb2 Rae1 {#R} 0-1
