Game 5, white
30.Qxg6
Commentary for white move 30:
MAURICE ASHLEY: Who knows what the idea is that this thing
concocted. I'm sure Kasparov is a bit surprised by this move.
GK MOVE: 30 Qxg6
MAURICE ASHLEY: He's instantly exchanged queens.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: And by the way, Fritz our little tool that we
have helping us often, often embraces its elder brother, Deep
Blue, and it has supported -- I looked at the toolbar there, I
saw a smidgen of red. So at one point it really endorsed the
move Qg6.
MAURICE ASHLEY: Well, it's coming back now, and we're
anticipating, although it has not been played, we're
anticipating fxg6. And Yaz, this game has suddenly changed
dramatically. Whenever the queen -- we have a queen among
kings with us now -- whenever the queens come off the board, it
seems like the whole game changes rad I canally. What's going
on now? What can we expect from the position?
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, Garry, throughout the match, has been
playing for endgames, and I know that one of the strengths that
Susan has that has carried her for the world championship is
her endgame ability. I've known Susan and her sisters for a
number of decades and I've watched you grow as a chess
player,
and I must say, you have my respect, very much so. But one of
the things that Garry has tried to do and he's tried to do it
consistently is control this knight on b6. So I'm anticipating
that he's just going to forget about the f2 pawn, he's just
going to let it go and we're going to see a move like b2-b3.
MAURICE ASHLEY: This is after the exchange of queens by --
after
Deep Blue has recapture the pawn on g6.
