Why do you find it odd that DB, in a position that is probably already strategically lost, plays a move that allows unfathomable complications? "Blunder" seems, as I have commented in "r.g.c.c", the wrong word for a move that may not even be a mistake and the consequences of which are still being debated three years later. What *should* DB have played at move 19, and what confidence do you -- does anyone! -- have that Kasparov would not still have won in much the same way as in the actual game?
