Commentary for black move 33:

I'd like to see that in game three what we saw was Garry Kasparov sacrificing a pawn, dragging the game from a middle game into an ending where he was pressing an ending --

GK MOVE: 33...Rf2.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Kasparov has penetrated into the seventh rank, rook down to f2, and he also also seemingly brought about a threat. He may at some point play Nxd4. The knight is protecting the c2 pawn, so Nxdid 4 at a later stage may initiate this threat of capturing on c2.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, I'm just looking at some tactical nonsense for the moment. I'm looking at the move e3-e4, and I'm assuming, I assume Ne6xd4 Rxd4 Rxc2 e4xd5. This looks like a variation that may -- don't worry, folks, I don't miss mate in one. Rf1 Nc3-b1.

MAURICE ASHLEY: But, Yaz, there was, I have to admit another possibility, knight check followed by knight takes rook.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I saw the knight check but I was going to move the king. Let's take it back, never happened. In the previous game Garry sacrificed a pawn, had this long-term initiative and we're seeing it again. It may be one of his clear goals or match strategy is to try to play as many endgames as he possibly can.
