Can there ever be a consensus when the word “Greatest” is used? The chess world is pretty unanimous that Garry Kasparov’s 1999 victory against Veselin Topalov is the greatest chess game of all time. Kasparov offers two rook sacrifices and succeeds in evicting Topalov’s king from its drafty castle.
Lessons:
* Defending dubious openings can be a risky proposition.
* The defender’s task is usually harder.
* You should be optimistic when you can separate your opponent’s king from his forces.
