I hope so. > >Bob D. DJ was obviously out of book after 9.a3. Kasparov must have prepared this move since he played it quickly. the bishop sac 9...Bxh2 seems to promise black not much. Had Kasparov prepared 9.a3 as a trap and was he surprised by 9...c6? Why had Kasparov not analysed the bishop sac after 9...c6 10.Qc2 at home? Im curiuos to read his explanations. A very funny game. Have you thought that Kasparov ever would have to deal with a classical bishop sacrifice on h2/h7? Michael
