Commentary for black move 36:

YASSER SEIRAWAN: It got eaten! It got eaten! Again, Deep Blue has just played this endgame very badly. A couple of very poor moves again. Some of the motivation for some of these moves I can't fathom, and so --

DB MOVE: 36 Nxe6

GK MOVE: 36...Nxe6

MAURICE ASHLEY: Kasparov has quickly recaptured. Kasparov knows he's in a little bit of time pressure, but it's not the kind of position where the moves are difficult to make. That last exchange was very, very useful and Kasparov made it quite quickly.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I'm trying to -- at this point I'm going into is desperate mode for the computer. I'm trying to save the computer's chips with the move Rb1-b4, the idea that if I can trade off enough wood, Garry will be left with -- won't be left with enough material to win.

MAURICE ASHLEY: We must note that Kasparov's pawn structure is just better enough for us to say that it's not so bad. Especially on the side where his king is, these pawns are connected, so that's very healthy. This isolated pawn is weak, but it doesn't seem like a target. But this g-pawn do you owe, Yaz, that could come under potential fire later and come into play in a rook endgame later when the knights come off the board.
