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.

The World's b-pawn is now just one square away from promoting to a queen. At the moment, however, it cannot do so safely as White's rook would simply take it, so the king needs to be brought up in support. White cannot prevent Black's plan, so he needs to concentrate on pushing his own pawns through. That's why Garry has advanced his king one square further. He is also going to use his king to support his pawns in the race to get a new queen. The World Champion calculated this race many moves ago, and he knows exactly where it is heading: to a queen and pawn ending. It is not these moves that he has been analysing over the past few days (though of course he must check them carefully), but rather a position about twenty moves down the line. We are watching his thoughts unfold in slow motion. But in the meantime, let's keep our eyes on the here and now. The World's task is to support the pawns with the king - go to it! I'm back in the Zone theatre chat room at 2pm PST (10pm London) today if you would like to discuss the position. Danny

Kc3 to Kasparov's Kf3

The World should advance its king with 43....Kc4-c3 in order to provide support for the "b" and "d" pawns. In this position, The World's next moves are very predictible because they are all forced moves (the king moves to c2, the "d" pawn arrives on d2 and the "b" pawn queens). It will be very interesting to see whether Garry has something new (and better!) in the queen ending which results after these consecutive forced moves, or if the game is going to end with a long and placid draw.

Kc3 to Kasparov's Kf3.

The series of forced moves continue, and now The World has to play 43...Kc3.

Unfortuately, I may not be able to help you for the next three moves. I am playing a match with GM Alexander Beliavsky in Albert (France) from September 14 to 19. See you next week and Good Luck, World Team!

Kc3 to Kasparov's Kf3

I recommend the World plays the move 43...Kc3 (King on c4 to c3).

With the increased activity of White's King (43.Kf3), it is necessary to further involve our King in the effort to force through our passed pawns, therefore 43...Kc3 should be our move.
