Commentary for black move 14:

YASSER SEIRAWAN: --

DB MOVE: 14000.

GK MOVE: 14...000

MAURICE ASHLEY: Both sides have castles queen-side. The first question answered, where are the kings going. We know now. Now, where is the play.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Is the counter play.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Where is the play going for black, since we think white is going to try and do something over on the right half of the board. What's black going to do?

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well,, still he could continue with the idea of Nd7-b6-c4. There's no reason why this knight should necessarily remain on the d7 square. It's very attractive to try to come out here and checkmate the computer. It's good for the soul. And the other idea which is very straightforward as well is to break in the center with c5. At the moment, this would be met by the knight on c3 going to b5 and the d6 square, so we can't choose that. I think that if we have a pass move, like Kb1 and then after a move like Nc7, Kasparov is prepared to play c5. Also with a knight now on c7, the e6 pawn is protected and so Kasparov might break in the center. So for Kasparov we see that he has two breaks, c6-c5 or f7-f6, his choice.

MAURICE ASHLEY: The more I look at this position, Yaz, clearly it becomes that black has stuff to do, and although I said before that white has stuff to do on the right said, -- right side, where exactly is that? What should he be doing? It's not entirely clear that the progress will be made so easily.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Yes, but also -- I know what you're saying, Maurice. It's not so easy for white to create a clear path, a clear line -- a clear plan. But also the space advantage does account for something. Let's suppose that we see, for example, a continuation of h4-h5. Okay, new vair vacation. gxh5 gxh5.
