I've also analyzed the game with CM6000 and I also get a draw.  Of course, there
is no guarantee that the game will be drawn.

The key will be after Kasparov takes the pawn at g6.  Then black moves Q-e4.
The strategy for the world will depend on Kasparov's reply.

I think a good plan for Kasparov is *not* to conduct a pawn race.  Keep the
kingside intact, so that the White king stays safe.  I'd recommend a plan in
which White brings the queen back to the queenside, along with the Bishop, and
try to win the two b-pawns.

If the queens and a minor piece are exchanged, then the white king can come to
the queenside and stop the b-pawns, if they haven't been captured.  Then the
Bishop will be no match for the rook and the g and h pawns.

Of course, I'm still hoping for a draw, but I think Kasparov's just too good to
let the world get away with such position.

Baldo.
