The analysts for the World Team in the Kasparov vs. The World are all rising young chess superstars. These are the next generation of names that will rise to the top of the chess-playing world. If you're unsure what move to play against World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov, our analysts can point you in the right direction with their thoughtful responses.

Danny King's Commentary

Garry Kasparov has continued as expected by checking with his queen on f2. Where ever Black's king moves to, White's reply on the next turn will be 61 Kf6. Then Black's queen is unable to give any checks, thanks to the perfect placing of White's queen, so the g-pawn will advance one square further.

With the World Champion's pawn on the 7th rank one square from queening, the situation is desperate. In place of the option to offer a draw, an option for The World Team to resign is being introduced - that's how desperate.

When the game does conclude, Garry Kasparov has promised to come online to answer questions, then we can all find out what was really going on in this extraordinary game.

Elisabeth Pähtz's Move Analysis

Kc1 to Kasparov's Qf2+

I suggest Kc1. Many people say we have a losing position, but Garry has to show us that it is.



Florin Felecan's Move Analysis

Ka1 to Kasparov's Qf2+

My recommendation for The World is 60...Ka1 which is ,unfortunately not enough to bring a draw long gone; too bad, probably next time!
