He gives "39...Kg7 40.a6 Bd4 41.Rg6 with a decisive advantage."
This is a joke. This is what *everybody* is able to work out. He is leaving out
the really hard part that really matters. I suspect this is a psychological ploy
on Kramnik's part to drive Kasparov nuts. I tend to doubt Kramnik has the goods
in his line. Why else would he leave out the meat of the analysis?
BTW, both Kasparov with 32...Be5 and Kramnik with 32...Ba7 think Black could
improve over 32...Ra7. Is this the true decisive moment? Hmmm.
