Qe2 {leaves the position very unclear.}) 16... d5 $1 { Excellent! Black gives himself an isolated pawn, but his pieces gain tremendous activity.} 17. exf5 Qxc5+ 18. Kh1 exf5 19. Nb3 Qe3 $1 {The start of a beautiful maneuver.} 20. Qf3 Qe8 $1 {Kasparov at his best! The knight will land from c5 all the way on h2!} 21. Nc2 $2 (21. Kg1 Ng4 22. Qe2 Qh5 23. Nf3 { stopping the queen from coming to h2 was the only way to survive. This is still anyone's game.}) 21... Ng4 22. Kg1 Qh5 23. Rfe1 Bd7 $1 {Simply developing.
