Résumé
Kasparov drops 1.e4 and switches to the English Opening. The idea: avoid the Berlin and force Black to do their own thinking. The game ends in a quick draw.

Commentaire
A change of opening palette — an attempt to steer the fight into positions where Kramnik has no match preparation.
Black equalises confidently through the symmetrical structure; White finds nothing to bite into and accepts a repetition.
