Bb7 9. d3 Re8 10. Nbd2 Bf8 11. c3 h6 12. Ba2 d6 {Kasparov now sends his knight
off on its travels in order to exchange it for the f8 bishop. Things go
smoothly.} 13. Nh4 $1 {Short: "I underestimated this move. Now I cannot really
stop the white knight coming to g6 from where it will trade off my valuable
defensive bishop on f8. My problem is that Kasparov's bishop on a2 pins my
f7-pawn, so the white knight is immune when it lands on g6."} ({It is also
interesting to note that Kasparov preferred the knight manouvre to exchange it
for the f8 bishop to the fork on the b5 and f7 pawns after} 13. axb5 axb5 14.

already had a won game at this point with his bishop pair against Short's
single bishop, although no open diagonals as yet exist, no further advantages
are visible and despite having used up several tempi with his knight on the
way  f3-h4-g6-f8. Next came} Kxf8 16. f3 Rad8 17. b4 Ng6 18. Nb3 Bc8 19. Bb1

26. g4 $3 {The accuracy of Kasparov's evaluation is already obvious. He won on
move 59. Short: "A tremendously strong move, even though it seems to wreck the
pawn constellation around Kasparov's king.} ({In contrast, the apparently
tempting} 26. f4 {would have been wrong, since I could then sacrifice to make
a draw. For example} Nxg2 27. Rxg2 Rxg2 28. Kxg2 Qh3+ 29. Kg1 Bg4 30. Qd2 Bf3
