[See game below.] > In fact this is one of the four moves for which IBM gave Kasparov printouts. I didn't find anything unusual in the printouts for this move, from the technical angle. The chess part of it was over my head. I heard Kasparov explain why he found the move extraordinary and suspicious, but didn't follow it. It had something to do with preventing (or facilitating) the placement of a white (or black) minor somewhere on the king-side, but this seemed to be completely out-of-sight yet, so it didn't make sense to Kasparov. Sorry for the confused explanation, that's what I remember. Maybe someone understands this. Amir
