I'd bet on Kasparov, but I think it would be close.  Of all the pawns to give
up, a rook pawn is certainly the least painful...


Larry Kaufman recently wrote in Chess Life that a pawn is worth ~200 rating
points.  The rook pawn should be worth less, but it doesn't matter, because I
seriously doubt that Hiarcs is playing at a 2620 FIDE level anyway...
