Commentary for white move 33:

By the way, upstairs in the press center there was a lot of analysis regarding the move g7-g6 trying to break out of the prison on the king-side. 33 Bb5

MAURICE ASHLEY: Kasparov has in fact played Bb5. It's now found an excellent post on the b5 square. Kasparov ought to feel comfortable that he ought not lose this position because his pieces just look very good. Looks like very dominating posts.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I would have been very reluctant to play the move Bb5. I think Garry could have forced it. Garry could have brought his rook over here to the a1 square and eventually played Bb5 because of the pin on the a-line and forced that, but then Deep Blue would at least force the concession of Rf1-a1, a tell me positive. So at the moment the position is quite blocked so that extra pawn isn't so meaningful at the moment, and I'm expecting a move like that f7-f6.
