Yes, after all the engines are giving an advantage of over 1.00 to White. The question is whether Black can draw. If Black is worse after 16. g3 but not losing, one can argue about whether the word "unsound" really applies to Black's play.
Hello Jean Paul, sorry, I missed your reply here! No sure still, but also have not changed mind.
If 16. g3 is winning then Kasparov missed it. I think he would have mentioned it if he found a win later, some players would rather forget it or at least not publish it but I think Kasparov would appreciate the truth more than feeling annoyed with himself having missed a win.
I think I let Bluefish analyze this too, at least I think this was Bluefish. The scores are after a long while positive for White but for me I am not convinced this advantage means a win, but I have not looked at the given lines or anything, I just forgot to stop the analysis
Position after 16. g3, after a few days:
[d]rnb1r1k1/pp3ppp/2p5/3p4/3P1Pnq/P1NBPKP1/1PQBN3/R4R2 b - -

(Bluefish I think, one thread, Eval for White)
