Here Kasparov plays 38.Re5!!, and after exchange the pawn ending is won for white. If black does not exchange-white checks on 7-th rank and wins effortlessly as well.


Note guys that Kasparov had planned all this well before, but if I rewind 4-5 moves back I think it would be too unfair to the engines ;)
Would you mind posting the entire game? Very nice ending by Kasparov.

Thanks Greg!

I checked with 3 online databases, ChessGames, Chesslab and ChessBase. Everything is in order. Forgive me but I cleared the check from 43. gxf6 :wink: Sometimes with just a position with names only it's hard to verify, that's why I asked. Also, the online databases don't always have the game and someone submits a position from a database they own.
