Kasparov's blunder?
Anand - Kasparov, World Chess Championship, NY 1995 Game 11
This famous position occured during World Chess Championship Match between V. Anand and G. Kasparov. Anand thought that Kasparov blundered material, but did he really or Anand is missing something?
Black to play
Solutions:
Nope, Garry Kasparov did not blunder, he had something brilliant (or you can call it kasparpvian) in mind:
1...Rxb4+ !!
2. Ka3 Rxc2!
3. Rxc2 Rb3+
4. Ka2 Re3+
5. Kb2 Rxe1 0-1
In the Anand - Kasparov game that did not actually happened (Anand resigned after 2...Rc2), but that is the winning continuation.
