Looking at the continuation (in the above link...) the Kasparov move is confuted
by 30...Bd6 or 30...Nd6 with a slight advantage for white (about 1 pawn) ,
unfortunately Portisch blundered with 30...Ne5? with the following killing move
31. Qh7! (+9 for White).
So the comps are right to not find Kaspy's move 21. Bxg7.
