BM19990126010046795.html?cb=0&dx=1004&sc=0#doc JUST OCCASIONALLY, a game
is played that is so sensational that even in the old days it would have
traversed the globe in a week: a game which today, with the proliferation of
Internet access, will wing its way within minutes or at most hours to all five
continents. Such a one was Gary Kimovich Kasparov's magnificent victory
against Veselin Topalov at Wijk aan Zee on Wednesday. Aesthetic appreciation
of chess games is by its very nature subjective. Personally, I go most of all
for the unexpected, with a reasonable - but not necessarily excessive - level
of violence highly acceptable, good endgame technique to be applauded and a
king hunt as in today's game a great bonus. Some people also require "absolute
soundness" but I think this is rather prissy - a well contested game is bound
to be a bit unclear. GM Jonathan S. Speelman: } 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Be3 Bg7 5. Qd2 c6 6. f3 b5 7. Nge2 Nbd7 8. Bh6 Bxh6 9. Qxh6 Bb7 10. a3 e5 11. O-O-O Qe7 12. Kb1 a6 13. Nc1 O-O-O 14.

 You may have seen this game; it is famous. It is definitely one of the
best games ever played (Kasparov said it was his best game ever). And it may
be one of the two or three best games of all time. It contains quite a few
really amazing moves, with even more amazing moves provided by the many
commentators. Here I will not provide any in-depth analysis. This will be
fairly superficial, actually. Many many pages have been published on this game,
both in print and on the Internet: Jim Loy (edit.): } 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Be3 Bg7 $6 ( { Seirawan recommends } 4... c6 $1 ) 5. Qd2 c6 6. f3 b5 7. Nge2 $6 ( 7. O-O-O Nbd7 8.

DEEP It is amazing to see that Fritz finds the move [24.Rxd4] in 46 secs. 
 --- Once you are familiar with the analysis try to see how the chess
engine improves the depth of analysis by actually visualizing the position. 
 Stop at the branching points, for example 26....Rxd6 and analyse how white's
27th move changes from depth 12 to 13. Similar attempt from depth 13 to 14
needs to be done. You will be quite relieved to see that there is no change in
analysis from depth 14 to 15. Analysis by Fritz 6 (ply depth 15): } 24. Rxd4 $1 { (-0.62) 12/33 00:46 19973kN } 24... Kb6 25. Nb3 Bxd5 26. Rxd5 ( 26. Qxd6+ Rxd6 27. Rd2 {  } ( 27. Rdd1 Rhd8 28.
