Commentary for white move 25:

MAURICE ASHLEY: Well, you know how Fritz is. Fritz... -- beginning of the game, Fritz like Deep Blue -- 25 f5

MAURICE ASHLEY: And Kasparov has made a very aggressive move even offering the exchange of queens, and this last move attacking the bishop, f4-f5, threatening the drive the bishop back into a hole on h7, that can't be too pleasant for black. Maybe Kasparov is playing for positional compensation with his pawns --

MIKE VALVO: I don't understand this.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: I don't think so. I think here he'd going to win back the a-pawn, after the exchange of queens and doubling the rooks on a5. I don't think he's going to have any problems winning this pawn back. Well, let's see what's the possibility configuration here. Queen takes queen, you want, or --

MAURICE ASHLEY: Let's try queen takes queen.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: Queen takes queen, rook takes. I'm going to get this pawn back very next move by playing Ra1.

MAURICE ASHLEY: What do you think about the position after Bh5?

MIKE VALVO: Cannot play Ra1 because of Nb3.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: No, I think it's really bad, because bishop takes and Nd5 doesn't look good at all.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Let's try another variation. Maybe you can comment on this. What about the variation after Nxg4 followed by Bh5? What is your estimation?

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: Yeah, Nxg4 probably better B /* -- Nxg4 Bh5 h3. I still like white.

MAURICE ASHLEY: You always like white!

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: I should say not that I like -- I think white has compensation for a pawn.
