We were discussing the same subject as now, DB's thoughts on move 36. Someone, Rob Jojodyne I think, suggested 36...Rd8 as an obvious improvement to DB's 36...Qe7, if white plays 37.axb5. I pointed out that 37.Be4 refutes Rd8, and he came up with a5 followed by the piece sacrifice axb4. We analyzed the continuation for a few days and concluded it draws. In May, after the game they analyzed only the final position (45...resigns). Bruce was there and so was I. Nobody was paying attention to move 36. That came later, because of Kasparov's suspicions, and as a result of my efforts. Bob is confusing this with another position, probably move 45. Amir
