Nonetheless, this game was a first. I had achieved a personal milestone in December winning the World Championship and this was my first tournament after that. Of course, in a certain sense, so had Kasparov. "After death" as he put it in the closing ceremony. He usually turns up late for the game hoping to avoid photographers, but I noticed this doesn't work anymore. The photographers simply came to our table 5 minutes later! Anyway, my ruminations about the game ended and we started to bash out our opening moves. } 1. e4 {Wedberg} e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5.

Instead, Deep Blue ignored the threat and quite nonchalantly went hunting for lowly pawns at the other end of the board. In fact, at the point of maximum peril, Deep Blue expended two moves - many have died giving Kasparov even one - to snap one pawn. It was as if, at Gettysburg, General Meade had sent his soldiers out for a spot of apple-picking moments before Beckett's charge, because he had calculated that they could get back to their positions with a half-second to spare. In humans, that is called sangfroid. And if you don't have any sang, you can be very froid. But then again if Meade had known absolutely - by calculating the precise trajectories of all the bullets and all the bayonets and all the cannons in Pickett's division - the time of arrival of the enemy he could, indeed, without fear, have ordered his men to pick apples. Which is exactly what Deep Blue did. It had calculated every possible combination of Kasparov's available moves and determined with absolute certainty that it could return from its pawn-picking expedition and destroy Kasparov exactly one move before Kasparov could destroy it. Which it did. It takes more than nerves of steel to do that. It takes a silicon brain. No human can achieve absolute certainty because no human can be sure to have seen everything.

This and the following game caught my eye, well, I was commentating live on both of them, so they couldn't fail to. The variation Kasparov has played has grown in reputation over the last few years. The kingside pawns are flung up the board introducing a variety of dynamic possibilities. Here Kasparov has managed to advance his h-pawn all the way to h3 making life extremely awkward for White. With no light-squared bishop to cover g2, there will always be a threat of mate looming against the king should the position open. Moreover, as both the e and f pawns have advanced, the king has no cover along the second rank.} Rc8 21. e5 {Shutting out the bishop on g7 as 21...dxe5 22 Ne4 gives White some chances.

Entlang der b-Linie kann der schwarze Turm wirken. Schwarz hat keine direkte Schw鋍he, deswegen gestaltet sich ein weiteres Vorkommen schwierig f黵 Wei? Sein einziger Plan besteht darin, seine Bauern am K鰊igsfl黦el nach vorne zu bringen und so Linien gegen den schwarzen K鰊ig zu 鰂fnen (mit g2-g4-g5, h2-h4-h5 und dann entweder h5-h6 oder g5-g6).

WM-Kampf zwischen Karpow und Kasparow sah die Rollen der beiden Kontrahenten vertauscht: Kasparow als amtierendem Weltmeister gen黦te ein Unentschieden, um den Titel zu gewinnen, also ein 12:12 aus 24 Partien. Zun鋍hst sah es so aus, als w黵de er dieses Ziel problemlos erreichen, denn nach 16 Partien f黨rte Kasparow mit 9,5:6,5.

Kasparow beschuldigte seinen damaligen Sekundanten Wladimirow, geheime Analysen an Karpow weitergegeben zu haben und so f黵 die drei Niederlagen verantwortlich zu sein. Kasparow konnte dies jedoch nicht beweisen, daher liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass er lediglich einen S黱denbock f黵 sein eigenes Versagen brauchte.

Der erste Wettkampf, der im September 1984 begann und erst im Februar des Folgejahres endete, wird dabei eine gesonderte Rolle einnehmen: Der junge Empork鰉mling Kasparov traf auf den etablierten Weltmeister Karpov. F黵 Kasparov muss der Beginn dieses Wettkampfes eine herbe Entt鋟schung gewesen sein: Bei dem auf sechs Gewinnpartien angelegten Kampf stand es nach 9 Partien bereits 4:0 f黵 Karpov. Dann gab es viele Punkteteilungen, ehe Karpov die nachfolgende Partie gewann und so auf 5:0 erh鰄te. Was danach geschah, ist Schachgeschichte. Karpov war von dem Gedanken besessen, Kasparov mit 6:0 zu schlagen und ihn vollst鋘dig zu vernichten. Daher vermied er 黚erm溥iges Risiko und erlaubte so Kasparov, wieder ins Match zu kommen. Am Schluss hatte Kasparov den l鋘geren Atem und konnte auf 3:5 verk黵zen, ehe der Wettkampf unter skandal鰏en, nie gekl鋜ten Umst鋘den abgebrochen wurde. Beim neu angesetzten, zweiten Wettkampf hatte Kasparov die Lehren aus der Beinahe-Niederlage gezogen und errang nach einem wiederum dramatischen Kampf den WM-Titel.

The move played leaves Black with doubled and isolated pawns, supposedly the chess-player's worst nightmare. However, White also has serious structural weaknesses; the pawns on g4 and h4 aren't doing much and, even more seriously, his f3-knight and f2-pawn are vulnerable to pressure down the f-file.} 18. Rg3 {Deep Blue takes steps to defend the exposed knight, but the rook is clumsily placed here.} Rde8 {Threatening to break through in the centre by ...e5. This would give Black a clear advantage so Deep Blue immediately prevents it.} 19. Re1 Rhf8 {Very natural play. The f3-knight is immobilised by the pressure along the f-file, since the f2-pawn is insufficiently defended. Garry has excellent compensation for his slight kingisde pawn weaknesses in the form of active piece-play - just the type of situation in which he normally plays very well.} 20. Nd1 $1 {Deep Blue finds an excellent counter to Black's plan. Although this looks passive, the knight wasn;t doing much on c3 and it is much more usefully employed defending the f2-pawn. This frees the f3-knight for action; in some lines White might be able to play Ne5.} e5 $5 {An amazing pawn sacrifice. The logic behind this is that there are only two things wrong with Black's posiiton: the backward e6-pawn and the poorly plaved kngith on c7, which has few active prospcets (the g-pawns are not a significant factor provided Black's pieceds remain active, as White will not have the freedom of action to exploit them). By giving up a pawn, Black solves both these problems at a stroke. The c7-knight can move to e6, and then either to f4 or to c5 and then e4. It is certainly a bold stroke to offer a pawn against a computer, as machines (like Kortschnoj) have the annoying habit of hanging on to material.

This was clearly the point of White'sprevious move: to be able to expel the knight from c5 without it landing on e4.

Qd3 Qf7 26. b5 {Having played b4 to keep the knights out of c5, it is of course inconsistent to let them back in again.

In the latter case, there will be a slight weakness on f5 which might be able to exploit by Nh4-f5. At the moment this last manoeuvre is impossible, because the f3-knight is pinned, but this explains why one often sees the odd-looking move Qe1 in this system: White wants to support the push of his e-pawn, while at the same time freeing his knight from the pin.

The merits of 10 e3 are rather hard to find; Kasparov soon adopts the Qe1 and e4 plan, but having lost a tempo in the process. Perhaps his idea was simply to take DB out of its opening book.

White's basic plan is to play d4 and then Sbd2-f1-g3. This securely defends his central pawn structure, while making it possible for his remaining pieces to be developed. The current thinking is that Black should obstruct this plan, and the best way to do this is to adopt the Zaitsev System, in which Black plays Kasparov w鋒lt eine etwas antiquierte und passive Verteidigung, die Smyslov-Variante. Der Grundplan von Wei?besteht darin, d4 und anschlie遝nd Sbd2-f1-g3 zu spielen. Damit wird seine Bauernstruktur im Zentrum sicher verteidigt, w鋒rend gleichzeitig die 黚rigen Figuren entwickelt werden k鰊nen. Die herrschende Meinung ist, da?Schwarz den Plan mit dem Zaitsev-System (9... Lb7 10.d4 Te8 11.Sbd2 Lf8) durchkreuzen sollte.

Be3 {This is a theoretical position which has occurred a number of times in grandmaster chess. The earlier games suggest that White is slightly better, but with very accurate play Black retains equalising chances. The first point to note is that Black faces more problems on the queenside than the kingside. The e7-knight can move to g6, when Black has sufficient minor pieces to defend the kingside. The queenside, on the other hand, is looking a little bare. White's aim is to play a4 and b4. If Black is forced to play ...c4, then White will have a virtually guaranteed advantage. He can double or even triple on the a-file, and Black will probably be forced to concede the a-file. In view of Black's total lack of counterplay elsewhere, this could be very unpleasant for him. Moreover, the move ...c4 opens up the e3-a7 diagonal for White's bishop, which would then control squares in the very heart of Black's position. As Black's dark-squared bishop is locked away on f8, there would be no means by which Black could contest this control. It follows that Black must avoid meeting b4 by ...c4. This implies that his queen and rooks belong on the queenside, supporting the c5-square and being prepared to seize open files if pawn exchanges occur. Das ist eine theoretische Stellung, die h鋟fig genug im Gro適eisterschach vorgekommen ist. Die fr黨eren Partien legen nahe, da?Wei?etwas besser steht, aber mit genauem Spiel beh鋖t Schwarz Ausgleichschancen. Man sollte sich als erstes vergegenw鋜tigen, da?Schwarz am Damenfl黦el die gr鲞eren Probleme besitzt. Der Springer auf e7 kann nach g6 ziehen, wonach Schwarz gen黦end Leichtfiguren hat, um den K鰊igsfl黦el abzusichern. Am Damenfl黦el dagegen sieht es karger aus. Wei?will a4 und b4 spielen. Falls Schwarz gezwungen ist, ...c4 zu spielen, hat Wei?fast immer einen Vorteil. Er kann auf der a-Linie verdoppeln oder sogar verdreifachen, so da?Schwarz gezwungen ist, diese Linie aufzugeben. Angesichts des Fehlens jeglichen Gegenspiels ist das sehr unangenehm. Ferner 鰂fnet der Zug ...c4 die e3-a7-Diagonale f黵 den wei遝n L鋟fer, der anschlie遝nd die wichtigsten Felder der schwarzen Stellung kontrolliert. Da der schwarzfeldrige L鋟fer auf f8 eingesperrt ist, kann Schwarz wenig dagegen unternehmen. Aus all dem folgt, da?Schwarz es vermeiden mu? auf b4 ...c4 spielen zu m黶sen. Also mu?er seine Dame und die T黵me am Damenfl黦el behalten, um das Feld c5 zu st黷zen und die offenen Linien zu besetzen, falls Bauern abgetauscht werden.} Ng6 {This is not really wrong, although other players have given preference to arranging the queenside pieces, for example Das ist nicht wirklich schlecht, obwohl andere Spieler einen anderen Aufbau bevorzugen, z.B.} (17...

True, Deep Blue has played the opening in a way which appears very odd to human eyes, because it doesn't fit any of the normal patterns for playing with Black against the English Opening. Ideally, White would like to set his kingside pawns in motion, but it isn't easy to achieve this. The f-pawn is pinned, and White cannot unpin it by moving his queen, because then f3 would be hanging. Moreover, there is no attractive square to put the queen (ironically, the move a2-a3 cuts out a possible Qd2). Of course, White could play 15 g4 Bg6 16 f4, but then 16...exf4 17 Bxf4 Rae8 is fine for Black; he intends ...b5 and the f2-knight is badly placed.

Actually the move 13.b4 was lately the reason for popularity of the whole bishop sacrifice line. Probably it is time to have a closer look to 13.b4. White obviously wants to open files on the queenside and it also defends pawn e4 in a very original and active manner. The move is not new at all and was first played in 1979, but never considered dangerous because of the answer 13. ... Rxb4. However, the things proved far from clear after 14.Nbc7 Kd7 15.0-0, when Black must play very precise in order to avoid a quick disaster. Black tried several different ways after that, but it became more or less obvious that White has a good compensation for the piece. In the former Soviet Union the inventor of the b4 idea was considered Latvian Master Alvis Vitolinsh. It is not possible to say now if he played it before the first officially recorded game with 13.b4 ( Tringov,G-Cvetkovic,S/Vrnjacka Banja 1979), because in chess databases many Soviet tournaments are absent. Interesting is another factor. Certain is that after two decades another originally Latvian player contributed to its revival - Alexey Shirov. Maybe we should name the move 13.b4 the Latvian Variation? However, the present game is a serious blow against "Latvian Variation". The psychological effect of this game might be so strong that we won't see 13.b4 soon in the practice again, that's why I thought it is better to give this short historical background now.} (13.
