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.

For the last three moves all Garry has done is push those pawns down the board. Is this turning into an obsession for him? Well, if it meant that at the end of the march one of those pawns were to become a queen then you would focus on that task too! An extra queen would give White an overwhelming superiority in forces.

The situation has become critical for Black. Although the bishop on d4 is doing an excellent job, two connected pawns is too much for it to handle. It needs some support if those pawns are to be stopped and there is only one way to do that. If you are not sure how, then take another close look at Black's last move, 37...e6; that should provide a big clue. And, if all else fails, check out the analysis of the World coaches. I believe we are going to see unanimity today.

Yesterday, here in London, Garry gave a press conference to report on progress in the game so far. He was understandably reluctant to go into detail on the current position for fear of giving his ideas away, but he made the intriguing comment that 'Mathematically it is impossible to prove a win for White, but at the same time it is impossible to prove a draw for Black...'

In other words, World, there is everything to play for! We have confirmation from the horse's mouth that White has the better chances here, but there is still a long way to go, and, if Black plays accurately, a draw might be achieved. That, I believe, would represent a tremendous success for the World.

If you are interested in hearing more of Garry's comments and views from the press conference, then join me in the Zone theatre chat room at 2pm PST (10pm London) where I will also be discussing the current position.

Ne7 to Kasparov's h6

This is the only move we should make in this position. Our knight must try to stop the White pawns. From the square e7 the knight controls the square g6.

Ne7 to Kasparov's h6

After White's 38th move, The World is virtually forced to play 38...Nc6-e7 in order to stop the move g5-g6 from being played. Black is following the plan started at Move 36, where the king moves to the queenside to support the "b" pawn while the knight is directed to the kingside to keep White's pawn(s) from queening.

Ne7 to Kasparov's h6 The World Champion pushed the right pawn 38.h6! ,so now we have to block White's passed pawns by 38...Ne7. The game might continue in this way: 39.Rd1...Ng6? 40.Bxd6...b2 41.Ba3...Ke4 42.Rb1, winning for White. OR: 39...b2 40.Bxd6 b1=Q 41.Rxb1...Kxd6 42.Rxb7 with a big advantage for White. OR: 39...e5 40.Be3... Kc4 41.Bxd4... exd4 42.Kg2 b2 43.Kf3... Kc3 44.h7... Ng6 45.Ke4... Kc2 46.Rh1... d3 47.Kf5... d2 48.Kxg6... d1=Q 49.Rxd1... Kxd1 50.h8=Q b1=Q+ 51.Kh6, with very good winning chances for White even withone pawn less, because White's g pawn is very far along.

The best chance in this line is probably 48...b1=Q 49.Rxb1... Kxb1 50.h8=Q... d1=Q, after which White is in a better position.

Ne7 to Kasparov's h6

I recommend the World plays the move 38...Ne7 (Knight on c6 to e7)

The World Champion has advanced one of his PASSED pawns (38.h6), inching it nearer to PROMOTION. Without delay, we must play 38...Ne7, to relocate our Knight to the BLOCKADE SQUARE on g6. From its OUTPOST on g6, the Black Knight impedes both of White's passed pawns - it blocks the path of White's g-pawn, and covers the h8-square (the promotion square for White's h-pawn). Black must not delay in establishing this blockade. Once again, the World must resist the temptation of falling into the trap of too rashly pushing its b-pawn to b2, for after the blunder 38...b2?? White wins easily with 39.g6 Ne7 (too late!) 40.g7.

Therefore, our move 38...Ne7 seems FORCED.
