Decisive Game 6 was transmitted live on ESPN2 - a popular American sports channel. Once again Garry played the Sicilian, but this time he chose his favourite sharp Najdorf. Black played an unusual move in the opening, but equalized easily. After the queens were exchanged, Black had a small edge. Trying to play for a win, Kasparov sacrificed an exchange for two pawns. Unexpectedly Kasparov offered a draw soon after the sacrifice, and the computer team declined! But two moves later a surprise draw was in fact agreed. Kasparov tied the computer ove 3 points to 3 points. |
