So there was no intent to >be 'unfair'. However, the 'brilliance' of Rxd4 is yet to be proved... Dear Robert, I have to disagree with you. The whole concept of Rxd4 - winning ir not - will not be found by many players. Kasparov saw it and calculated it very deeply. It also is very courageous playing this way and I think Gary is the only one in the world at this moment capable of playing such games. To me it was a delight to see this game live, because not many games are played in this style. Kasparov deserves great credit for this. And if you find at home that there is a hole in the combination: So what? This is what chess is about! And didn't we all love Tal? That is the point! It's not the fact that Rxd4 might not be winning that counts, but the fact he played it and it became a fantastic game. Best regards, Jeroen
