Kasparov did have the draw 'assured' but he did not see the draw till it was
pointed out to him the next day...

i agree that Kasparov doesn't normally make these type of mistakes...

if i'm not mistaken, that was the first time that a reigning world champion
resigned in a drawn position...

this game has significance if for no other reason than that...
