You must be joking. Black could play it any time in the next 15 moves. I don't understand this fixation on f5. What's wrong with any other pawn advance ? Black can play h5, g5, f5, and take it from there, any time during the game. What is white going to do about it ? I think this game was a low swindle by Kasparov. He played a dubious line based on preparation that showed Fritz will not punish him for it. He gave Fritz about 20 free tempi (5 moves to capture the pawn, 5 to disentangle, 5 to move his king and 5 to break). This was not anti-computer strategy. Kasparov played computer strategy! Locking the position with a horribly cramped reverse chain, taking a worthless pawn and hoping the sky will not fall on its head is just what a computer is expected to do. Amir
