Hsu reported that DB expected the bishop sac and had a score of 0.00...  I saw
a lot of GM analysis that finally concluded that Kasparov's move was better, as
after his move in the game, he threatens the bishop sac which would then win.

I don't recall the analysis in detail however, just that it was discussed a lot
while the game was in progress and then later at several chess sites around the
world...
