Commentary for white move 36:

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Before we welcome somebody on stage, it's an an honor and a pleasure -- DB MOVE: 35...dxe5. GK MOVE: 36 f6

MAURICE ASHLEY: And Kasparov has played immediately f5 hi f6. This is a strategy he's been thinking about, and he's getting up from the board now, down a pawn, is Kasparov.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I had to stop myself, but it's a great pleasure and it's an honor, and as Americans we can be proud. We have in our audience this evening the chess champion of the world for women. Her name is Susan Polgar. She's standing right over there. (Audience applause.)

MAURICE ASHLEY: And Susan /TKPROPLZ a trio of world-famous sisters. Her middle sister, Sophia Polgar is an International Master and the youngest sister, Judith Polgar, has been among the top 20 players in the world for a long time now, extremely top talent. And of course Susan is a top talent herself. Susan Polgar: Hi.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Your impressions of the game today? Susan Polgar: It's been very interesting, the pawn sacrifice. Right now I prefer white, I guess. I think white has in risk to lose.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: White has no risk to lose. So the women's world champion is supporting her male colleague. (Audience laughter.) Is that like Fritz supporting Deep Blue, something we've been going here, Susan? Polgar: I don't know. That's just my judgment of the position regardless of who I'm supporting.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Active pieces, that's the big difference for you? Polgar: The knight on d5 is really nice, I would say a dream knight there, and the bishop is very nice on b5, and the bishops are kind of bad, you know, they don't -- don't have much space to move.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Susan, in the beginning of this match you said to me you thought that Kasparov was going to win this match easily, no questions asked. Then you saw yesterday's game and I saw a look of appreciation on your face for how well Deep Blue played. What do you feel -- what are your feelings now on how the match should go? Polgar: I still believe that Kasparov will win the match, but yesterday's game was absolutely impressive.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Two days ago, I'm sorry.
