The analysts for the World Team in the Kasparov vs. The World are all rising young chess superstars. These are the next generation of names that will rise to the top of the chess-playing world. If you're unsure what move to play against World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov, our analysts can point you in the right direction with their thoughtful responses.

The benefits of The World's pawn sacrifice on move 54 are already clear. Following the deflection of White's queen from its excellent central post, Black's queen was able to step into the action. Garry Kasparov's king has been driven in front of the pawn, so slowing its progress to the eighth rank.

White's king had to find shelter. If it had gone the other way, to e7 for instance, then it would have been hit by another queen check, preventing progress.

This pawn sacrifice from The World was all about improving the position of the black queen. But now what?

As I see it, there is a clear choice between 56...d5; and 56...Qe3.

56...d5 activates the d-pawn, reminding the World Champion that The World also has the potential to make a new queen and, in some variations, enables the queen to move to the powerful central square e4.

56...Qe3 improves the queen's position again. It is nearer the centre, preventing White's queen from re-centralising, and prepares to give White's king some more checks from e5 or e7.

It is a difficult decision. The consequences of both moves are very hard to resolve, even with reams of analysis. Do your best!

d5 to Kasparov's Kg7

We also have to advance our pawn, and with d5 the Queen protects it too. 56...Qe3 and 56...Qf5 are also interesting, but I think d5 is the more purposeful move.

d5 to Kasparov's Kg7

In my opinion, The World should try 56...d5, and I have at least two good reasons for this: 1) No other piece(king or queen) can significantly improve its position right now. 2) The pawn on d6 is very poorly placed - it enables White's king to find a shelter from Black's upcoming checks - and it has little , if any value (as soon as the pawn moves forward, it gains value considerably ).

(No commentary for this move.)

d5 to Kasparov's Kg7

I recommend the World plays the move 56...d5 (Pawn on d6 to d5)

Having made the World Champion block the path of his passed pawn with his King, I believe it is now the time to mobilize our PASSED PAWN - therefore I recommend 56...d5 as Black's best move here. Play may become quite forcing for the next couple of moves, for example, after 56...d5, the game may continue 57.Qd4+ Kb1 58.g6, when Black can consider 58...Qf5 (which, in my opinion, may be a better choice for Black than 58...Qe4).
