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.

Having whipped off the pawn, Garry Kasparov re-centralises his queen, gaining time by giving The World's king a check.

Let's just keep in mind what Garry is trying to do here: he is attempting to advance his remaining pawn to the eighth rank to get a new queen - which will win the game. At the moment his king blocks the pawn's path, but it had to run there to hide from the black queen's checks.

A queen in the centre of the board controls more squares than at the side - that's why Garry has re-centralised - and in so doing he is able to offer his king greater protection when it re-emerges to let the g-pawn advance.

At the moment, the most crucial aspect of this endgame is the positioning of the queens. Garry has just re-positioned, and in a couple of moves The World will have to do the same to get a better checking angle.

In the meantime, The World must get its king out of check. Only two squares to consider, a2 or b1, but really, there is no contest. I imagine we are going to see unanimity from the analysts on this move. Make your own mind up and then take a look at their suggestions if you are not sure!

Ka2 to Kasparov's Qd4+

With his last move Garry improved the position of his queen. In the middle of the board she controls events and at the same time prevents us from sending our brave pawn home. However, I don't believe that Garry has enough to win the game. The time has come to offer the World Champion a draw. If he is in a good mood, he might accept, then we can happily pack up the chess-set and all go home!

After Garry's last move 57 Qd4+ there are two possibilities: 57...Ka2 or 57...Kb1. I recommend 57...Ka2 as I feel that our king stands just a bit better there.

Kb1 to Kasparov's Qd4+

In this position only two moves are available for The World: 57...Ka2 and 57...Kb1. I'm considering 57...Kb1 superior to 57...Ka2 because Black has all the reasons to avoid the diagonal a2-g8 (g8 is the transformation square for White's pawn); therefore, I'm recommending 57...Kb1.

Kb1 to Kasparov's Qd4+

I recommend 57...Kb1. The best square for The World's king is b1 because later, if White manages to take d5, it will be without a check.

Kb1 to Kasparov's Qd4+

I recommend the World plays the move 57...Kb1 (King on a1 to b1)

This is the best move for Black - the alternative 57...Ka2?! is BAD as the Black King is VULNERABLE on the a2-square which lies on the a2-g8 DIAGONAL leading directly to the g8 queening square. Black was crudely threatening to immediately sacrifice his d-pawn with the advance d5-d4, and White's Queen check is aimed, in part, at crossing this Black threat. As we need to bring our King to c1 to support the advance of Black's d-pawn in some variations, I am recommending 57...Kb1 for our move. If White continues with straight-forward 58.g6, Black should react with the active 58...Qf5 (and not the dubious 58...Qe4?!).
