Game 5, black
33...Rd7
Commentary for black move 33:
YASSER SEIRAWAN: The human doesn't like such moves. The
computer considers everything. We're considering after Rg8. I
do like your suggestion, there, Susan, that the knight jump to
h4, Rf7, continue this line Nd7 -- Bf3, I beg your pardon.
DB MOVE: 33...Rd8
YASSER SEIRAWAN: We have correctly guessed Deep Blue's
move.
And.
And then after the move Nd7 instead of Bxh5, Bd5 is very strong
for Garry. Bd5, hitting the rook on f7. And if you play Re7,
then I get to jump with Nf5.
MAURICE ASHLEY: We would like to reintroduce to the stage
International Master Mike Valvo. And we would very much like
to thank women's world champion Susan Polgar. (Audience
applause.)
YASSER SEIRAWAN: What's the reconnaissance look like out
there?
MIKE VALVO: I just /PAPBTD the whole time. How many moves
can
these guys make?
YASSER SEIRAWAN: Well, they make a lot!
MIKE VALVO: I was only gone a half an hour.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: And the whole complexion of the game has
changed. We've got an ending where Kasparov, after the move
Rd7 can pursue an initiative on the king-side. Those pawns on
g7 and h5 are quite vulnerable. We've been looking at Nh4 --
/TOEUFPLT f5.
YASSER SEIRAWAN: -- to f5 as well as Nh4 with the idea of Bf3.
And the variations /PHAO*UFB looking at has really got Deep
Blue in a lot of trouble. We've seen throughout the match that
Garry has geared himself toward the ending where the computer
is remarkably vulnerable. Why is the computer, as more pieces
go off the board, you figure the computer's calculating power
should be even better because it can see as much more with
fewer pieces.
