Commentary for white move 35:

MIKE VALVO: Well, that may have been 15 ply or more, and maybe have been beyond the computer's ability to see that deeply.

GK MOVE: 35 Bd5

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Deep Blue has played Nc8. I harped on that that this /TPHAO*EULT was passive, and Deep Blue is going to have to do something about it, and finally did. And Garry immediately dominated the center of the board with the move Bg2-d5. Garry's pieces are increasing in scope, and things are beginning to look very bad for "the future"!

MIKE VALVO: Yeah.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I love saying that. (Audience applause.)

MIKE VALVO: Well, the future is now.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: The future is now. At this moment we have another special guest. His name is Grandmaster Patrick Wolff, two time U.S. chess champion. (Audience applause.) Welcome to the hot seat. Your impressions. You've been looking.

PATRICK WOLFF: I think this has been a very difficult, back and forth game. My impression is that Garry had a large advantage in the opening and then was outplayed by Deep Blue for a while, and then I think he outplayed Deep Blue and now it looks like Garry has gotten control of the position again. I haven't seen the position in a few minutes. So this is the current position on the board?

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Yes, we have the exact game position on the board.

PATRICK WOLFF: I think -- you know, Maurice and I were talking about this back stage or eye -- for a moment. Maurice said, you know, how could the computer let this happen. How could the computer from such a nice position play this move Qg6, you know, letting the pawns -- let's just go back a few moves. We're talking at this point here. Remember, at this point here, the computer has just brought its queen up to the d6 square, and now Garry played this very nice, aggressive c4 move.

MIKE VALVO: You notice that the scooted the pawn when he moved it?

PATRICK WOLFF: I didn't notice that. That would be Garry, when he's got the move, just loot it be known.

PATRICK WOLFF: Now, this knight on b6 it doesn't have a lot of good squares to go to. Which the computer is still suffering from, because this pawn on c4 takes this d5 square away. The queen on c2 now cells the c4 square. This is a very pivotal moment in the game and then the computer played this move, C g6, which a lot of us watching up in the press room, we didn't like this move, and we can't calculate as far as Deep Blue can, but we can understand that in the long run these doubled pawns are going to be a real problem after queen takes, pawn takes.
