Deep Junior desperately needs a win to have any real chance in this (relatively) short match.

My take on this game? A VERY wild and sharp encounter. The computer should have lost this encounter I think ... for Kasparov, this goes down in ... "The one that got away," category! I saw this whole game - I bounced around from server to server to get a good perspective. The X3D site had some good commentary, as did Chess.fm and the "PlayChess" server site. (You can also get quite a bit of commentary by watching this game on the Internet Chess Club.) The computer developed well, but Mig Greengard was already saying that any advantage White had was frittered away with too many "normal" moves. (GM Maurice Ashley openly condemned some of the moves the computer made as well.) I also said that, "The move ...Qf6; was either very bad, or very, very good." {The simple ...Ra6; seemed to give Black a very good position.} I had already predicted - on one server - that if DJ played b4!?, Kasparov would sacrifice with axb3. After the small sacrifice of a Rook for a Pawn and a minor piece, Kasparov developed a tremendous attack. I was predicting an easy win at one point, but Kasparov did not play the line I thought he was going to play. Kasparov still had a terrific attack, but the poor box had already determined that it had to give back some material. Apparently in the final position, neither side could avoid a draw. A very exciting game to watch! (And I am very sure - a tough game to play!) At this point, my prediction of a score of 4-2 still looks reasonable. Kasparov's
