Commentary for white move 45:

GK MOVE: 45 Kb1

MAURICE ASHLEY: I'm sorry, before you get to your question, Kasparov has in fact entombed his king on the b1 square. It sounds bad.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: But it's okay.

MAURICE ASHLEY: But I'm sure he has everything under control. It is -- you've got to be cautious going on that square, because now -- this pawn was just on c3 will be mate so we're clear on that.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I want to point out that Fritz believes in Deep Blue's position. It's always favored Deep Blue throughout the match but at the moment it thinks that Deep Blue is doing well.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Your question.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: In the position you're looking at, if when the pawn gets to c3, the knight could sacrifice on e5 to distract the rook, if the pawn was going up to g7, he'd be one square way of /KWAO*EPBG. And if he didn't, then you'd knock down his c3 pawn, if the position we were looking at earlier.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Exactly. The gentleman points out that white may be looking for the opportunity in the future of sacrificing his knight on f4 for that dangerous c-pawn with the idea that his g-pawn can then march home.

MAURICE ASHLEY: So after -- after Rd2 --

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Which is the anticipated move.
