Kasparov KO’s Short in 24-moves

Featured is the game between Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short from the 2001 Korchnoi Birthday KO Tournament. After Short signals his intention to trade light-squared bishops in the French Defense, Tarrasch, Kasparov follows with an instructive plan that significantly hampers the mobility of black’s minor pieces. While Short maneuvers his knights on ranks 7 and 8, Kasparov’s queen knight becomes an MVP on h5. Short’s big blunder on move 17 allows Kasparov a memorable bolt-from-the-blue tactic, leading to Short’s submission in just 24-moves.
