Sharh
After his loss in game 2 Kasparov had to play for a win. He deliberately avoids simplifications and tries to squeeze tiny pluses.
Kramnik shows textbook defence: every exchange comes at the right moment, with no pawn weaknesses left behind.
By move 53 the position is technically drawn — Kramnik’s 2 — 1 lead holds.
