Subject: Kasparov-Kramnik game 6 49.b4! instead of Kh1 and 54.Qd5! instead Qa8

Does any program find either of these lines?


49.b4! Nxb4 (49...Nd8 50.Rxh7+ Qxh7 51.Qxd5 the difference with the game is
patent here: Black cannot bring his king closer to the c-pawn with check
(...Kg6+) and cannot prevent the crushing Qd6: 51...Qc7 52.Qd6+-; Also 49...Ne5
50.Bxg5+ fxg5 51.Qxf5 Nf3+ 52.gxf3 Rxf5 53.Ra7 is winning, the pawn on b4 makes
a huge difference here.) 50.Kh2! Nc6 51.g4 winning. A brilliant win, wouldn’t
you agree?


also at move 54 instead of Qa8

54.Qd5! Nc6 55.Bd4! Kg6 (55...Nxd4 56.Qxd4 Qxa5 57.c6 is an easily winning Queen
endgame.) 56.Bc3 would have deprived Black of any counterplay. Combining the
attack on the c6-knight and the f6-pawn with the advance of the kingside pawns
at the right time would have brought White victory.
