Opening looks like a reversed Trompowsky, where after Bg5, Ne4 is probably a waste of time, but Kasparov play Ne5 anyway

[kingscrusher]

Good point - it's a Reverse Trompovsky! :)

[982vigilantseer]

The level of brilliancy in these games never ceases to amaze me. Keep them coming!

[bicyclethief]

Nigel loves sadistic king marches.

[SuperPeristilo]

It is not the first time I see Nigel running with his king like this. Nigel's kings are very brave and powerful in the middle game, LOL!

[seeaeytch]

seems like kasparov was barkin up the wrong tree for once in his life, usually tho his attacks are overwhelming from a substantial amount of moves away

[saberous33]

That is how I was kind of seeing it in a way at least. Thanks for showing this!

[mckill2007]

tactics, strategy, amazing!!!

[Newbeeses]

These exchange sacks are deep

[marticus42]

Amazing game, so many possible lines! Love these kind of games.

[chipdouglas42]

Cool game. I like games where Kasparov loses because it shows how ligit the game actually is.

[SPr1nkZ]

Beautiful game

[andsanp]

nice
