(1) Kasparov,Garry (2830) - X3D-Fritz (2753) [D45]
Man vs. Machine New York, USA (1), 11.11.2003
1.Nf3
d5
2.c4
It's interesting to note that Garry has not tried the Reti opening for some time, although he has won 6 of 7 games with it.
2...c6
3.d4
Nf6
4.Nc3
e6
Transposing into the semi-Slav
5.e3
Nbd7
6.Qc2
Bd6
7.g4
Garry repeats this idea he used against Deep Junior with success earlier this year.
7...Bb4
8.Bd2
Qe7
9.Rg1
Bxc3
10.Bxc3
Ne4
11.0-0-0
Qf6
12.Be2
Nxf2
13.Rdf1
Ne4
14.Bb4
Kasparov is better developed and keeping Black's King in the center of the board.
14...c5
Kasparov was annoyed with this move and went into a 19-minute think. Opening the position has its issues for both players.
15.cxd5
exd5
16.dxc5
Qe7
pinning and attacking the pawn on c5
17.Nd4
Garry elects to play active rather than the defending 17.Bb5
17...0-0
Taking the -pawn with 17...Ndxc5 could be dangerous for Black after 18.Bb5+ Kf8 when the King-Rook is out of play and White can build up on the half-open f-file.
18.Nf5
Qe5
19.c6
bxc6
20.Bxf8
although Garry is winning an exchange here, he was noticeably disgruntled with the outcome at this point. He took over 4 minutes to take the Rook.
20...Kxf8
21.Ng3
Ndc5
22.Nxe4
Nxe4
23.Bd3
Be6
24.Bxe4
I believe this was an underestimated point in the game. Kaspy seems to be pursuing the natural trade-down with a material advantage motif, but somewhat relaxing any initiative in the position. Perhaps better was 24.Rf4.
24...dxe4
25.Rf4
Bd5
now Black's center is solid and it will be hard for White to break through to utilize the material advantage.
26.Qc5+
Kg8
27.Rgf1
Rb8
28.R1f2
Qc7
29.Rc2
Qd7
I thought Fritz might take this chance to push his a-pawn. Double-check and notice that the Bishop on d5 was not, in fact, under attack (29... a6 30.Qxd5? Qxf4!)
30.h4
Qd8
31.g5
Bxa2
32.Rxe4
Qd3
33.Rd4
Garry played this move quickly and admitted the draw. Did he miss 33.Qf5! covering thef1-square?
33...Qxe3+
34.Rcd2
the only move. 34.Rdd2?? Rxb2!!
34...Qe1+
35.Rd1
Qe3+
36.R1d2
Qg1+
37.Rd1
1/2-1/2
