What I had read years ago, is Kasparov touched the square with his Knight, for all of a quarter second then moved it to the correct square. Polgar could have held him to the touch square rule, but this is the first time I've heard that Kasparov removed his fingers from the piece. At this point, I'd rather see the footage, then read a report. Terry
