Game 3, black
29...Nc6
Commentary for black move 29:
MAURICE ASHLEY: We'll just see if Kasparov has thought deeper
than everyone else and maybe he still has that compensation, as
you say, but Deep Blue has responded instantly.
DB MOVE: 29...Nc6.
ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: This is something out of "Twilight
Zone." Actually, this move may have an idea. Twilight Zone
for me. That means I don't understand it. Doesn't mean bad
move.
MIKE VALVO: I think black is getting away with all this.
MAURICE ASHLEY: The bishop may go to a5. The knight may in
some
positions end up on b4, Nb4 could be a possibility in some of
the positions.
ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: The difference between human and
computer, here what I would think here, the first move that
would come to my mind is to exchange knights, exchange the bad
bishops, having an extra pawn, but I think even with extra
pawn, computer tries to get most out of the position. That's
why they call it computer.
MIKE VALVO: That's why they call it computer.
ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: To begin it, there is a very strong
immediate threat Nb4 which may end the game on the spot. So he
has to worry about this.
MIKE VALVO: And you know if you look at the red over there, it's
getting more and more read.
MAURICE ASHLEY: Fritz is back on the Deep Blue bandwagon and
is
saying that all it sees is it's up a pawn --
ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: "Go, daddy, go," right?
MAURICE ASHLEY: G, daddy, go!
And we welcome to the stage Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan, as
Mike
Valvo will take his break.
MIKE VALVO: Good-bye!
MAURICE ASHLEY: So we will thank, please, a big hand for
Grandmaster Roman Dzindzihashvili.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Wow!
MAURICE ASHLEY: Yes, I know you. You're a materialist through
and through.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Oh, you know it. Give me those --
MAURICE ASHLEY: You don't pretend, you just say I'm greedy, I
know, give me a pawn, I got it, do your worse and I'm going to
win in the endgame. What do you think about this position?
YASSER SEIRAWAN: You know what I think about the position.
A good teacher of mine from Seattle, when I was a young boy, I
would love it sacrifice my pawns and he would just say to me
"Give me your pawns, baby." And that's what Deep Blue has
done. He's taken Garry's pawn.
