He lost one game (Kasparov) and drew the other (Anand), and in both games White played 16.c4 instead of Leko's 16.h3. Here are the two games: [Event "SuperGM"] [Site "Linares ESP"] [Date "2002.02.28"] [Round "5"] [White "Kasparov, G"] [Black "Adams, Mi"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "2838"] [BlackElo "2742"] [ECO "C42"] 1. e4 e5 2.

Rae2 Qc6 27. cxb6 1/2-1/2 Note that both of them reach the identical position after 26.Rae2, and in the second game Adams plays a slightly different move and quickly gets a draw offer. These guys have good memories, no? jm
