Game 3, white
6.g3
Commentary for white move 6:
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Garry has a trainer who is helping him for
the
match, a computer scientist from Germany by the name of
Frederic fried he will. Frederic fried he will has a web page,
and Frederic revealed Garry's thinking as Yuri Dakoyan. 6 g3.
MAURICE ASHLEY: g2-g3 preparing to put the bishop on g2 and
build that house that you talked about earlier.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Exactly. Dakyon and Frederic got the
information that, hey, the final position could be a draw, and
they looked at it, they looked at it, they looked at it, and
they discovered some possible winning variations, but they saw
a lot of drawn variations and they came to the position that
the position was a draw. And now they've got a problem. The
problem is, how do you tell Garry?
(Laughter.)
So they figured the best thing they could do is Garry him towards
dinner, get him when he's really hungry and thinking and his
mind is a bit distracted and then just spring it on him. --
just bring it up. So they're just entering in the restaurant,
and they said, "Hey, Garry, you could have drawn the final
position." "What? What are you talking about?" "Qe3." Boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom. This is one of the great abilities of
chest Grandmasters, and just how you were being introduced
there, Mike, blindfold chess -- Garry didn't need a chess set,
the position in a snap it sprang to his mind. They discussed
incredibly rapidly the variations, boom, boom, boom, boom being
boom. "No, then" -- boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
MIKE VALVO: Then silence.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: A shock. Awareness starts to settle in. No
cursing, no shouting. Shock.
Now a little cursing.
(Laughter.)
And that was what dominated dinner.
