Try http://bbs.msnbc.com/bbs/kasparov-team/index.asp for the latest -- even the jokers are funny! Someones got 440 lines of analysis after 15. Nc3 (GMs and machines agree it's GK's best move) -- currently Irina etc are trying to thrust 15. ...b5 on The World, even giving it ! points. My mate Jon Speelman thinks it's horrible, for what it's worth (FWIW?) I agree. We like 15. ...Ra8, because after 16. Re1 (which we won't get) there's ...Ra5 17. Be3 Nd5 18. Nxd5 Rxd5 and maybe 19. Qe2 b5! looking good for Black. Point is, after 15. ...b5, 16. Re1 is strong, probably forcing 16. ...b4 (also acclaimed) 17. Na4 and White starts to get going against a weak queenside. 15. ...Ra8 is brilliant! Send in the cavalry! We Need Your Help!! (And Your Digital Friends' Help!!!) Francis
