During his stage interview after the match Kasparov said he had seen the move
25...f4 thought that it was winning, but he decided that the queen check on a1
did not change anything. "It was a human move," he said. "You see a check like
that and you simply play it. But I immediately realised that I had let it off
the hook." Later on Kasparov and his seconds discovered that the move 25...f4
was not so clear after all and that White could probably draw after 26.h3.
