DOUBLE ROOK SACRIFICE FROM KASPAROV

Garry Kasparov vs Topolov

In this move white finds the oppurtunity to push the game to ultimate winning . And the whole world knows that it can be done only by one person , name is Garry Kasparov .

In this position he sacrifices his first rook :
1) R*d4 !         c*d4 
2) Re7+ !!   

Topolaov declines the second sacrifice .
2   ....               Kb6
3)Q*d4 +          K*a5
4)b4+                Ka4
5)Qc3               Q*d5
6)Ra7                Bb7
7) R*b7                         



I think from this position there are many posiblities and endgame variations . The Topolovs retreat was 7).... Qc4 8) Q*f6 K*a3 9) Q*a6 + and the ending is evident  1-0 

This game is considered to be immortal game by Kasparov.!!

Smothering

This position is an interesting one . In my days I was unable to find this . 







                                                          White to play and mate .
