I tell you: you are wrong. > had I said that? No. Kasparov has enough experience in QG to choose lines with which Junior has problems to deal with. It is easy for Kasparov to choose lines where black didnt get active piece play. You (GM's of course) have to defend well the whole game against Kasparov if you want to get a draw in the Qeens Gambit. No other way. BTW there are not only Indian systems after 1...Nf6, even the Wolga Gambit could be used as a surprise weapon for one game. Im not sure Junior wouldnt handle Wolga-Gambit positions well. > >>2.

No he is not without concessions. Kasparov always go for advantage with white pieces and almost always takes a risk. Look at his games. I think chances to get a draw with black pieces are better for Junior with 1...Nf6 or even 1...f5 followed by g6 (no Stonewall of course). In QG GK can play for a win without any risk.
