Most annotators now thought that Black had the advantage.} 31. Qb6 {Threatens taking on e5, because the queen on g6 is unprotected and so the pawn on d6 is pinned.} Kh7 32. Qb4 {This move prevents h5-h4, because otherwise g4 is hanging. With his next move Kasparov renews the threat but overlooks the fact that the rook on f8 is no longer protected. Kasparov was in time trouble.} Rg7 {Immediately after playing the move Kasparov jumps to his feet and shakes his head.} 33. Rxe5 {Fritz is not one to miss this shot.
