Commentary for black move 28:

DB MOVE: 28 Bxc6

MAURICE ASHLEY: There's a --

YASSER SEIRAWAN: There's quick exchange of pawns, b5xc6.

GK MOVE: 28...b7xc6.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Fritz, by the way, liked white the way I played, and I've taken the computer's side, folks.

MIKE VALVO: But it's going down.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I'm doing my best! (Audience laughter.) Nf3-d2. I like my pawn, I'm not going to give up my a3 pawn. Now, in this moment, you've got several things. You can play Nc5-e4, if you look.

MIKE VALVO: Or Rf8.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Rf8, attacking the f2 pawn. Lots and lots of weaknesses in white's position. We may have to keep an eye on things.

MIKE VALVO: Garry seems to be getting very excited about the position now.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Now, Ne4, I'll take it following the material that I'm ahead in material. Rxe4.

MIKE VALVO: Now the pin is a problem.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I've got a big problem, don't I? Okay, but -- so I don't panic and I'll play Re3 Belle Belle --

ANGELINA BELASKAYA: So finally you're ready to get doubled pan?

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, I think you're going to take my g4 pawn in fact.

ANGELINA BELASKAYA: I don't know.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, if you take my rook on e3, I will take the doubled pawns, but, hey, I'm starting a pawn up, so take the pawn on g4. It's good! (Audience laughter.)

MIKE VALVO: Fritz likes black's position.

ANGELINA BELASKAYA: I am not a computer, so I will not take any pawn there is.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Let's take some questions from the audience, if we will, please. Yes, sir?

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hi. I was wondering if you think that Deep Blue ends up playing an endgame with pawns more often than not because it considers the material advantages rather than an overall strategy? Sort of like Karpov would have five years, six years ago? It's my personal opinion that he often plays an endgame with pawns whereas Kasparov tries to get as many offensive pieces on the ordinary side of the board as soon as possible, besides the pawns, of course? And my second question which is much shorter is, did you guys have any thoughts about connecting the two computers together, the Deep Blue and Deeper Blue, the first one and second one for even a greater search tree? This way you would be able to cross Kasparov much better.
