My
take on this game?
I
did not get to watch this game as my computer had crashed, but I went
over this game several times and I also read all the commentary on this
game. It seemed that Kasparov is suffering the same fate as Kramnik,
i.e., until he lost to the computer ... he played almost without fear.
After both had lost a game to the computer, they seemed to play the next
contest in a slightly different manner than before their loss.
After
his loss to the box in the previous game, Kasparov - from the pictures,
and the game - did not seem to play with quite the same gusto that he
had displayed earlier. His play was somewhat tentative, surely against
any weak human he would have opened the game with ...b5 at the
appropriate point. Eventually the computer opened the game, and came
close to winning, but careful play by Kasparov saved the
half-point. |
Kasparov,
Deep Junior draw game four
03.02.2003
After two rest
days and a devastating loss Garry Kasparov withstood considerable
pressure to salvage a draw. In front of a packed audience commentators
Ashley, Seirawan, Benjamin, Jennifer and Greg Shahade and Susan Polgar
confessed that they had no idea what was going on.
