1.
Weiß: Kg1, Dd2, Tc1, Tf1, Le2, Le3, Sc2, Sc3; B. a2, b3, c4, e4, f3, g2, h3
Schwarz: Kg8, Dc7, Tc8, Tf8, Lb7, Le7, Se5, Sf6; B. a6, b6, d6, e6, f7, g7 ,h7.
Aus der 4. Wettkampfpartie: „Deep Junior“ – Kasparov. Stellung nach dem 17. Zuge
von  Weiß.


Huebner´s analysis of Kasparov´s 17... Rfe8 was not convencing.

He said at the end that he is sure Kasparov wouldn´t play this move, but 17...
b5 against human. He is possibly right, because this game was aganst chess
program.

In position after 17...Rfe8 is still a little better for black.
