Commentary for white move 34:

MAURICE ASHLEY: Garry is so happy to exchange queens it's ridiculous. I've never seen Garry like this.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Garry, if he gives up the queen it's usually a brilliant sacrifice or a completely winning ending --

DB MOVE: 34 Rb1

MAURICE ASHLEY: These paradoxical exchanges for material -- for position, pawn for position, but endgames, endgames have been quite interesting how Garry is readily going to this -- so often. We see it in practically all the games of the match.

MAURICE ASHLEY: A new move has been played by Deep Blue, an improvement of the rook. The rook has now moved to b1, put it on an open file, R from d1 to b1.

So he wants to be very accurate right now, Yaz, doesn't want anything to slip by all the sudden and the evaluation go off the scale.
