Commentary for white move 18:

Mr. SEIRAWAN: Exactly. AUDIENCE MEMBER: And clearly that's not a handicap against Deep Blue, which isn't looking at anything. But does that mean that it's actually -- that Kasparov is less good than he would be if he also had a poker face?

Mr. SEIRAWAN: Okay, the question was concerning the fact that Garry displays his emotions so clearly, and is that a detriment? Clearly against Deep Blue it's not, but against a human being, if he were to have a poker face, would he be more formidable, and I think the answer is yes. I have played Garry and I really know when I'm doing well, and I get energy from that, it's like I'm inspired because I say, "Oh, look at the red face, look at the shaking head," you know he's missed something.

Mr. SEIRAWAN: We do have a move.

Mr. ASHLEY: Rd5, as you said.
