Bilbo, I've played against kasparov in that game and I have recorded my win. I've even written it at the back cover of the book entitled "chess openings:traps and zaps" by pandolfini.

I took the book from my old shelves just to confirm whether I really put it there. I won after 27 moves.

I started with this moves:

I'm white (I like to attack):
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
4. d3 d6
5. Nc3 Nf6
6. Bg5 h6
7. B xf6 g xf6
8. Nc3-d5 Be6

If you really want how it proceeded I can post all my moves. For the record, I've only beaten Kasparov twice and after that I was not able to replicate again those wins.

Also, I've played with players before but my profession hinders me from going full time with chess.

In my impoverished country, playing chess full time is not very lucrative. People in my country get rich by being a boxer (like Pacquaio) but with chess, you'll go nowhere.

BTW, chess is a game of memory. Right now, I must admit that my memory is not that strong anymore. Maybe that's the reason why I can't win anymore and can hardly remember the names of all the openings. Maybe we can play online just to prove that I can play chess. I'll explain my moves while doing it so you will know that I will not be using any cheats.

Regarding ICB, I've also observed that his grammar had improved. Could it be possible that it was not ICB who's currently posting in here?
Definitely post the game Brucelee, I can't actually remember the great Kasparov being an e5 player as he was famous for his Silician Najdorf but whatever.

Actually the line you are playing is the Guiuco Piano especially popular with school kids, there is no way in hell that Chessmaster at its highest level would first of all open with 1.e5 if it was modelling Kasparov and the opening book it played was terrible.

There is no way that chessmaster on its highest level would play 7.gxf6, it would have recaptured with the queen. Even a relative patzer like myself can see that's a duffers move at first glance.

I'm not sure what you beat, or how good it was but It certainly wasn't chessmaster at its highest level.

It would have responded to 1.e5 with 1.c5 gone into a highly theoretical Sicilian defense and most likely drubbed you off the board inside 25 moves.

But post the game up anyway, it will be interesting to see what mistakes Grandmaster Kasparov made in this line.
