Without the lines you would buy everything _Kasparov_ is telling you??? :)

I don't follow you. We have found, also published here in CCC, lines with clear
advantage for Black, Bob, that's a fact. Of course Kasparov doesn't want to
appear as the sucker who missed another half point. Exactly you always wrote
that he can't be believed if he's talking. I would say that this is just such a
case. Even after f4 and then White h3, that is what Kasparov meant, Black is ok!
Agreed it's not the same story as the draw in the second in 1997.
