Garry Kasparov announced a
forced mate in 25 moves (!) after
62.....Qc6+ 63. Kg5. An emphatic way
to conclude the game. The main line runs:
63.....Qd5+
64.Qf5 Qg2+ (64...Qd8 65.Kh6 is mate
in 22)
65.Qg4 Qd5+
66.Kh4! Qg8
(instead if 66...Qh1+ 67.Kg3 Qe1+
68.Kf4 Qd2+ 69.Kf5 Qc2+ 70.Kg5
Qc5+ 71.Kh4 d3 72.g8(Q) Qf2+
73.Qg3 Qf6+ 74.Kg4 Qd4+ 75.Kh3
Kb2 76.Qg2+ Kc1 77.Qh1+ Kd2
78.Qa2+ Ke3 79.Qe1+ Kf4 80.Qf7+
Kg5 81.Qd2+ Qe3+82.Qxe3 mate)
67.Qf4+ Kc2
68.Qf8 Qh7+
69.Kg5 Qh2
70.g8(Q) Qg3+
71.Kf5 Qf3+
72.Ke6 Qb3+
73.Kd6 Qb4+
74.Ke5 Qe1+
75.Kxd4
now it's mate in 12. For example:
75....Qa1+ 76.Ke4 Qa4+ 77.Ke3 Qa7+
78.Kf3 Qb7+ 79.Kg3 Qc7+ 80.Qf4
Qxf4+ 81.Kxf4 Kd3 82.Qb3+ Kd4
83.Qb5 Kc3 84.Ke3 Kc2 85.Qb4 Kc1
86.Kd3 Kd1 87.Qd2
mate
If Black deviates from this line, then
checkmate arrives even sooner. A very
"computery" variation!
