This move was made by FIDE president Kirsan Ilyumzhniv. I guess he didn't choose the move

Huh ? What's this ? I've never seen such a move in a queen's pawn opening

Book move. Okay! Boris is on top of this

Last move out of book, and probably not the best one. This line didn't figure in our preparations and Junior is playing randomly out of the general book
9.e4
e5
First move out of book, and Junior went deep for 25 minutes. A minor panic occurred when the screens went black. We almost rebooted before someone asked how long it was since any input was made, and we realized power saving was done for the monitors, and solved the "problem" by moving the mouse. Deep Junior didn't like the position at all, scoring it around 0.70. It never got any better. The alternative is Bb7 with great complications. Junior spent a lot of time dismissing the lunaticc5

Very much a Junior move. Of the alternative suggested: c5 is detested by Junior, and seems to lose quickly. [ 13...Bb7

(or Nxc7) may be better for black, but not by much, and with the queens off not really a practical chance]

Deep Junior took 35 minutes for this move ! The longest Junior move ever in a competition. The reason, of course, is that scores are starting to fall

Despite its appearance this is not a desperation move. It already appeared in PV's two moves earlier. Rather than lose e5, Deep Junior is quite happy to give the exchange in return for temporary initiative. Kasparov's plan of K to a1 and opening the c file is totally counter-intuitive to Junior

Too little, too late. Nothing came out of the Deep Junior's attempts at activity. I was greatly impressed with the way Kasparov handled this part of the game. It looks much more than simple technique, and I'll bet many GM's will get it wrong, especially when reduced to a minute amove
