Why did Black resign? IM Malcolm Pein explained this on the Internet: "Black has four pieces left plus his king. The rook on a8 and the bishop on b8 cannot move. If the queen on b7 moves it allows b7, winning a rook. If the rook on c8 moves White can play Qxc6, forcing an exchange of queens. After that there are many ways to win, the most prosaic being double on the c file and play Rc8. So we are left with Kh7! The simplest way then is Qe7 Qxe7 Bxe7 threatening b7 and if Rc8-e8 then b7 Ra7 Bc5 etc. Note that had Kasparov left his rook on b2 Black would have ...Bxe5 gaining a tempo." 1-0
