ANGOL MEGNYITÁS 1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 d5 {We have the English opening, one of Kasparov's old loves. He's decided to give up on beating the Berlin defense finally! Kasparov will give his analysts another few days to work on the berlin and move to Plan B here. His results with 1.c4 were always very good. Kasparov is one of few top GMs who can open with just about any first move. His best results have been with 1. d4 historically, but he's largely switched to e4 in recent years 4.d4 here is the consensus of the experts. After my bad day of predictions yesterday maybe I shouldn't suggest anything! First I said game 4 would be a grunfeld and was wrong on move 1 then i said it would be a quick draw and it turned into one of the most exciting games on record! So here I think Kasparov will move either a pawn or a piece. Can't miss there Kramnik, of course, is an expert in the English variations with white. He opens a majority of his games with 1.Nf3.} 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. Bg2 Nc6 6. Nc3 g6 {Usually these positions involve a lot of complex maneuvering and less concrete analysis than what we've seen so far in the match openings. Of course that isn't to say this is a new position! In modern chess it's hard to leave the books before move 15!} 7. O-O Bg7 8. Qa4 Nb6 {It's been a long time since Garry has played the English opening in classical play. He still plays it in exhibitions and blitz, but I don't think he has played it in a serious game since against Deep Blue! On the other hand, he has played it in blitz against Kramnik on five occasions in the past two years. But in all of those games Kasparov played d4 very early, something he's not doing here.} 9. Qb5 {Interesting choice, and we're already in a rather rare position! As I said, the English isn't as deeply analyzed as most 1.e4 and 1.d4 openings. The logical move now is to advance the c-pawn so the white queen doesn't snack on it.} 9... Nd7 {Interesting! A new move in this position, protecting the c-pawn in a different way. That knight has taken quite a trip across the board. Maybe it'll head back to f6 someday?} 10. d3 {If this game gets drawn out we'll see who has recovered better from last night's brutal marathon} 10... O-O 11. Be3 {Continuing the assault on the c5 pawn. Black can't defend with ...b6 because then the knight on c6 would be lost. So moving the knight to d4 is about the only way to protect the pawn. We've now transposed back to a known position, although the four games I find in the ChessBase MegaBase are rather obscure! In general this line looks quite attractive for white. Nd4 is the obvious move. Something like 11...a6 looks too risky for black. After the game all this commentary is available for download, by the way. So if you go off for a snack and miss some golden words, you can relive the live experience at your leisure. :-) Of course our post-game analysis is what you want if you're looking for serious truth. Team Kramnik's analysis of game four was amazing, if you haven't seen it yet! Very honest about all the mistakes at the end. Now Kasparov is definitely looking to even the score. The momentum has moved to him. I think Kasparov has forgotten what it's like to play a match against an equal, to be honest. Now he's remembering! The 93 short match was over after four games, Anand collapsed in the middle of the 95 match. Kasparov's last real dogfights were against Karpov. Now here's Kramnik with a style similar to Karpov's and 12 years younger than Kasparov himself. So after Nd4 here by black, Kasparov can take with his bishop and then plant his c3 knight on the powerful central square e4 Kramnik can't be too happy with this position. He's going to have weaknesses no matter what. If a black pawn ends up on d4 his g7 bishop won't be doing much.} 11... Nd4 12. Bxd4 cxd4 13. Ne4 {The expected continuation. Still two games in the database with this position, but not from very strong players. GM Shipov is recommending ...Qb6, previous games went ...Nb6 instead.} 13... Qb6 {Kramnik figures that without queens on there will be fewer chances to lose. A practical philosophy that he has followed in every game with black so far in the match.} 14. a4 {Of course if Kasparov doesn't trade queen he can go to c4 to attack the d4 pawn. Hmm, unexpected! Again in this match Kasparov voluntarily destroys his pawn structure for activity. So far this has not been a successful policy. Kramnik is just too solid a defender and the weaknesses in Kasparov's positions have come back to haunt him several times. If Kramnik takes, he'll have some trouble protecting the a6 pawn. sorry, a7 pawn Of course Kramnik isn't forced to take here. He can just develop his pieces. Kramnik's taking a long think here. He needs to find a long-term plan here. In many positions, and this is certainly one, concrete calculation of variations is not nearly as important as finding a long-term plan for your pieces. Kramnik has to worry about the potentially weak d4 pawn and rook invasions on the a and c files} 14... a6 {Computer here don't help to much. Long-term weaknesses don't usually mean too much to them. Aha! Kramnik decides to force the issue intead of deciding on a plan now. Again kasparov can swap or keep the ladies on with Qc4 I'm a fan of keeping the queens on. Just about every game so far has seen the queens come off very early and all the excitement has been saved for the endgame! If Kasparov dodges with Qc4 Kramnik can't take the b2 pawn without getting his queen trapped with Rfb1 and Ra2. There's a crazy computer line that shows black can get a few pieces for his queen in that line, but I don't think Kramnik is eager to sacrifice his queen just yet! We're doing post-game audio reports from London in cooperation with Real Networks. Check the WC index page for the link. These two really like to think. it looks like we'll have yet another time-trouble game.} 15. Qxb6 {All that thinking to trade queens! But after yesterday's wild affair, it's clear that queenless games can be quite exciting as well.} 15... Nxb6 16. a5 Nd5 {Now both sides have strong knights in the middle of the board, the perfect place for knights. But Kasparov will be first to take control of the only open file, the c-file. And the g2 bishop has a better future than the one on g7.} 17. Nc5 Rd8 { Kasparov moves his knight to an even more dominating position, homing in on the backward pawn on b7. Could he be planning something as simple as Ra4-a3-b3 to hit it again?} 18. Nd2 {Now all of Kasparov's pieces are becoming active and white uncovers the secret weapon: the bishop on g2! The knight can head to c4, threating to win immediately with Bxd4 then Nb6 forking the rooks.} 18... Rb8 {Ronen! Okay, eveyrone around the world wish him a happy birthday. Now get to work!! :-)} 19. Nc4 e6 {The always entertaining (and usually correct!) GM Har-Zvi will be giving more advanced commentary in English if you would like to add his commentary channel now.} 20. Rfc1 Bh6 21. Rcb1 Bf8 22. Nb3 { Sorry, some confusion behind the scenes here in London. This is Mig in London at the match, commenting live. We also have GM Ronen Har Zvi commenting in English, and Errol Dickl in German, IM Nicolas Giffard in French, and GM Shipov in Russian! And Deep Junior in the universal language of variations. The maneuvering battle continues. Kramnik has activated his dark-squared bishop and Kasparov is putting pressure on the d4 pawn. Trying to break free with ...b5 would backfire because after taking en passant, Kasparov would have the tasty a5 square foraknight} 22... Bg7 {So Kramnik after thinking for 20 minutes puts his bishop back home on g7. I'm going down to the stage to remind Kramnik that he can move his other pieces too. This is the type of position Kramnik has been defending well all week. No active plan for black, but white can't get through. I thought Kasparov was going to play that knight back to a4 in order to double up on the b6 square, I suppose he could still do that.} 23. Bxd5 {Deep Junior's move! Maybe Garry has been spending too much time with his computer. Black is now deprived of his only active piece, but Kramnik won't give up just yet. Kasparov still has to find a way to attack the weaknesses in Black's position. But now White can advance the b-pawn without worrying about the knight dropping into c3} 23... Rxd5 {Nbd2 looks like a logical continuation. Or Rc1. White's knights are superior to Kramnik's bishops right now, but Kasparov has to find a way to capitalize. After Nb6 Rb5 Nd2 the knights start to creep up the board. GM Shipov is looking at Nb6 Rb5 Nd2 and then e5, freeing the c8 bishop. Wake up, Garry! Is he looking at f4 to prevent e5? It's not common to have two long thinks in a row like this. He spent a long time on Bxd5 and I'm sure Kramnik's move didn't come as a surprise! IM Giffard points out f4 g5! Kasparov is getting down to "a move a minute" territory. The time control is at move 40, when both players get another hour on the clock.} 24. Nbd2 e5 {DRAW AGREED! OFFICIAL RESULT, DRAW GAME OVER: 1/2-1/2 {Game drawn by mutual agreement} 1/2-1/2
