Several annotators believed this was DB's last chance to draw game 1: 3rr1k1/1p6/2p3P1/4nP1p/pP2p3/P1B1NbP1/2P3B1/5RK1 b - - 0 36 Instead of 36...Kf8 as played by DB here, 36...Ng4 gives good drawing chances according to Benjamin's notes from Informant, and Goodman and Keene's book on the match. Incidentally, I have a PGN file of Game 1 compiling all notes I could find from various sources, including Seirawan, Nunn, Goodman/Keene, Khodarkovsky/Shamkovich, Henley, and Benjamin amongst others, as well as excerpts from the Deep Blue log files for the game. If you're interested, I could e-mail this to you. Regards, Vine Smith
