I was very excited about the moves in this position, they were very deep, so I decided to see if the engine could find it. I used stockfish for this. I was shocked that there was another move other than Qxh6(It says that this move leads to check mate in 13 moves.) The better move is Nf7+. This move leads to check mate in 6 moves. 1)Nf7+ Qxf7 2)Qxh6+ Bh7 3)Rxa8 Nf6 4)Rxf8 Qxf8 5)Qxf8 Bg8 6)Qf6# This game is amazing...

Can we start a petition to change the name of the Ruy Lopez opening to the “Royal Opus”, the way Agadmator says it?

I remember watching the video when Kasparov explains this, but if it ended at Queen takes Pawn, then why did Kasparov say: "It's unforgettable mistake, you should take with the rook"?

Awesome ending to this game! Kasparov actually missed mate in 6 in the penultimate position: he should've played Nf7+ according to Stockfish in place of Qxh6. However, this line looks really tough and is not so obvious - I analysed it for a while but couldn't see a mate so checked Stockfish, maybe Kasparov saw the potential but didn't want to get 3/4 moves in only to find he'd miscalculated. Still inspiring play from Kasparov though!

in the end around 9:40, why not capture the enemy queen with the bishop instead forcing checkmate instantly rather than prolonging it by taking the queen with the rook?

[@hunghung9537]

kalpattu akash your move is really bad. Here i will explain it for you. If Bxg6 then Kg7. Now the bishop cant move cuz it needs to defend the knight and at the same time guard the b1 square. Ofcourse white will simply capture the rook and win somehow but it make things more anoying. Black can try to get reap of the bishop to promote the pawn b2.
