Deep Blue (2450) -
G. Kasparov (2730)
[B22]
ACM Match I (G1), 1996
[A.J.G.]
An
incredible game ...
and a very historic one as well.
1.e4
c5; 2.c3!?
d5!?; ('!')
This is book - and best.
3.exd5
Qxd5; 4.d4
Nf6; 5.Nf3
Bg4!?; {Diagram?}
Unusual.
[ Better is: >= 5...e6!;
"~" {Diagram?}
with a solid and playable position. ].
Now both sides continue
to try and develop.
6.Be2
e6; 7.h3!?
Bh5; 8.0-0
Nc6; 9.Be3
cxd4;
10.cxd4
Bb4!?; 11.a3!
Ba5; 12.Nc3
Qd6;
13.Nb5
Qe7!?; {Diagram?}
Interesting, but perhaps not
the best move here.
[ Much better is: 13...Qd5!;
<=> {Diagram?}
- GM Nick de Firmian. ].
14.Ne5
Bxe2; 15.Qxe2
0-0; 16.Rac1
Rac8!?;
17.Bg5!, "+/="
17...Bb6!?;
18.Bxf6
gxf6;
19.Nc4!
Rfd8?!;
('?') {Diagram?}
After this move Black's pawn
structure
is permanently wrecked.
[ The move: 19...Bc7[];
looks to be forced. ].
20.Nxb6
axb6; 21.Rfd1!?
f5; 22.Qe3
Qf6;
23.d5!?
Rxd5; 24.Rxd5
exd5; 25.b3!
Kh8!?;
('?!')
Black tries to use the g-file
to scare up
a little counter-play.
[ More tenacious is:
>= 25...Rd8!; 26.Qxb6
Rd7; {Diagram?}
- GM Raymond
Keene. ].
26.Qxb6
Rg8; 27.Qc5!
d4!?; 28.Nd6!
f4!?;
29.Nxb7
Ne5; 30.Qd5
f3; 31.g3[]; {Box?}
{D?}
Given an exclam by some,
this move looks
forced to me.
[ Bad is: 31.Nd6?!, ('?')
(g2 is hanging) ].
Keene
points out Black has a scary-looking attack,
but DB has no feelings ... and is not impressed.
31...Nd3!?; {Diagram?}
Maybe the only real try?
[ 31...Qf4!?;
32.Rc8!!, ("+/-")
].
32.Rc7
Re8; 33.Nd6!
Re1+; 34.Kh2
Nxf2;
35.Nxf7+
Kg7; 36.Ng5+
Kh6; 37.Rxh7+, {D?}
Black Resigns.
A really great and interesting
game ... for a machine.
