Commentary for black move 31:

MIKE VALVO: And Garry responds right away, Rf7.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: And Garry had anticipated this move. (Audience laughter.) Rf7-f7, looking to double the rooks on the newly created f-file.

MIKE VALVO: This is interesting. If you were a human, you might not play fxe3, but it might be a good idea to take it right away because they're going to think and you can take advantage of that time.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: First of all, I recover my composure after the trade of queens, and I think Deep Blue is right back in the game. Again, in an ending this is going to be very hard for white to win -- excuse me, for Kasparov to win. He is a pawn down. He has some structural weaknesses on the king-side.

MAURICE ASHLEY: And we'll also excuse Angelina Belaskaya, wonderful job, U.S. women's chess champion.

MAURICE ASHLEY: I've been in the press room. I've been taking a poll. I know you like polls. I took a poll, of some pretty heavy-duty people.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Big timers?

MAURICE ASHLEY: Six Grandmasters, U.S. champions among them, a world champion, women's world champion among them.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Susan.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Yeah. And they had a consensus, more or less, about this position. Two moves have been made since I was last there. Just before the exchange of queens. Now, we had a British Grandmaster, Danny King from England. His feeling was black was good, black had a solid position. Didn't want to say winning, but good. Woman's world champion Susan Polgar, same opinion. Down a pawn, but her -- she even felt this game looks like it should be a draw, in her opinion. Patrick Wolff, former U.S. champion --
