This is truly a wonderful game. The real knee-buckling move is White’s 24th, but Kasparov’s precise finishing technique is also a joy to behold.
1. c3
1…….. Qxc3
2. Qxb5+ Ka3
3. Ra7+
1… Kxc3
2. Qa3+ Kd2
3. Qb2+ Kd1
4. Bf1 Qxf1
( 4…Qd4 5. Qc2+ Ke1 6. Qe2#)
5. Qc2+ Ke1
6. Re7+
1… Kb3 2. Qa2+ Kxc3 3. Qb2+ Kd3 4. Bf1+
Straightforward.
1. c3+ Kxc3 (forced or else white mates in a few by taking on b5)
2. Qa1+ Kd2 (if 2…Kb4 then 3. Qb2+ and it’s over in a few)
3. Qb2+ Kd1 (if 3…Kd3 then 4. Bf1+ and if 4…Ke3, then 5. Re7+ Kxf3 6.Qg2 mate)
4. Bf1 Rd2
5. Rd7! Rxd7
6. Bxc4 and white wins easily.
To add to my above post, egaion’s second line beginning with Qa3+ doesn’t work because black has Qb3+ to block and exchange queens. Qa1+ is correct.

I am sorry for the wrong line and thanks for the correction, which by the way is a beautiful line.
can someone tell me what game this is? I would like to find the entire game on chessgames if possible…
