Using computer software should make it easier to follow games and variations. I would really appreciate suggestions on how to manage the learning process? It is nontrivial to enter the moves, variations and comments and, if possible, I would...

Therefore, in a match of 14 games (just like Kramnik and Leko played) Kasparov should score 9,43 points, which means...

After 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. f4 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. Bc4 e6 6. f5 the book move is 6..Nge7. I forgot my theory and bashed out 6..d5, a move which I've been unable to find in any of my general opening references. Can anyone find anything wrong with it? The game went 7. exd5 exd5 8. Nxd5 Bxf5 (8..b5 is interesting) and Black was fine. At the time, I was worried about 7. fxe6 dxc4 8. exf7+ Kxf7,...
