Game 2, black
5...Be7
Commentary for black move 5:
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, I would love to but I'll do my best --
see what Garry has done. Garry has played Ng6-h4, offering a
trade of knights, he attacks the knight on f3. Again, just in
general, understanding the position, the center is blocked,
play takes place on the wings. The move a2-a4 by white was to
induce an opening on the queen-side, and the move Ng6-h4 is
that Kasparov would like to play on the king-side. So we're
going to see a lot of things happening on the flanks. I would
also like to say that during this match we're going to have a
lot of quest commentators, people coming up on stage, we'll be
taking a lot of questions from our audience, and it's really a
special moment for all of us because we're having some
fantastic people in our audience who will be joining us. And
in this classical positions, me being an exceptionally young
player, I don't know them so well, and I would like to defer to
a really, really old player who is in our audience, a man who
has trained me in the past and knows chess inside and out.
He's here from Washington, actually Reston, West Virginia,
Grandmaster Lubosh Kavalek is in the back and like nobody else
in this audience he'll be able to tell us what's going on,
right, lube orby?
