Danny King's Commentary
The more I look at this game, the more I realise how complex it is. Snap
judgements just won't do. I have spent hours trying to come to a conclusion
on the 'correct' line of play for both sides, and I keep changing my mind
as to what that is!
The World has chosen to grab one of the pawns on the Queenside; Garry has exchanged Rooks, and will probably hoover some pawns on the other side of the board with his Queen. The tension has broken with these exchanges, and we are most likely about to run down a forced line over the next few moves. Then it will be time to think again. From Black's viewpoint, one thing I do find encouraging is that with every exchange his king position becomes safer. The World's King is less likely to fall prey to an attack in the middle of the board with fewer pieces on the board. World, you only have one serious option here: work it out for yourself and, if in doubt, read the analysts' recommendations!  
Elisabeth Pähtz's Move Analysis
Qxa4 to Kasparov's Rxa4
22.... Qxa4 to Kasparov's Rxa4. What else? We must take the White Rook. 
Florin Felecan's Move Analysis
Qxa4 to Kasparov's Rxa4
22...Qxa4 is the forced alternative for black since we have to get our Rook back. Interesting if Black goes for Qc2 or Qe4 later in the game. If I find something wrong with Qe4, I'll have to switch back to Qc2. Anyway, it looks like Black has enough compensation for the exchange with Bxb2 and Bd4, putting some pressure on white's king and preparing the "b" pawn's march but as I said before it is risky to awake Garry from his "Deep Blue" sleep with 21...Rxa4. Good Luck! 
Qxa4 to Kasparov's Rxa4
The World Champion decided to change Rooks, so now our move 21...Qxa4 is forced. 
Irina Krush's Move Analysis
Qxa4 to Kasparov's Rxa4.
I recommend the World plays the move 22...Qxa4 (Queen on b4 captures Rook on a4) FORCED move. | |
