It'd be proper to say which Tal. Or were these annotations compiled from beyond the grave? (Is it why I had the association: immortal-immoral? :-) Anyway, my minor misgivings aside, Kasparov played so many wonderful games that it's very hard to single one as THE immortal. Every chess player will certainly enjoy Kasparov's miniature against Ivanchuk, from 55th USSR championship, 1988 (or late 1987?). Just 24 moves but so beautiful. Regards, Wlod

As I understand it, there was a game dubbed The Immortal Game because it was believed at the time that the game was so great it would be remembered forever. Now how this leads to any given player -- or every player -- having one, is beyond me. What's wrong with "Kasparov's greatest game" or something like that? I mean, there's probably no insurance policy on this and if it gets stolen again and again, soon nobody will remember that it actually referred to an old game. -- help bot

Many people don't believe this is Kasparov's immortal game. Though Kasparov bragged about it some feel that his game as black against Sunye Neto in a Tarrasch was it. However many say game 16 in his 2nd world championship match against Karpov is his immortal game. That was a sicilian defense. EZoto
