Commentary for black move 9:

Mr. SEIRAWAN: Sort of controlling the g5 square. Let try to explain the strategy a little bit more. We have seen the move d2-d3. Garry had not made a commitment with the center pawns, leaving it an open question of whether or not he was going to play e2-e4 or c2-c4. After d2-d3 he played -- Deep Blue played Bd6. I love that move. It's a lovely, ideal square for this dark squared bishop, because the problem with the d6 square, the d6 bishop looks at the squares a3 and b4 as well as towards the king-side, f4, g3, h2. So the beneficiary on d6 is very well placed. Then came the move Nbd2, castles, so Deep Blue in its -- and its computer programmers can be very happy that the computer program has a nice, safe king on the king-side. Then came the /PHAO*UFT h2-h3.
