Brilliant video. Really capturing the drama of the game. The way you describe Kasparov's computer preparation as "spell-checking" is quite profound and really got me thinking. A brilliant turn of phrase that so accurately describes the analysis of that time. Fascinating.
A small addendum: regarding the amazing move 11.Ng5 (see video at 4:23), it was discovered (invented?) by Igor Zaitsev - Karpov’s second (and not by the immortal Tal). See Anatoly Karpov, My Best Games (OLMS 2007), p.9. Ofer
There is some debate about this. Tal was present at the Baguio match but only accredited as a journalist and not as a second, though in fact he was working with Karpov. I have been informed that Tal was actually behind the move, but Zaitsev was officially given credit. Whatever...it is a remarkable idea.
PowerPlayChess This is very true, I was told the same by same Karpov team insiders. In fact poor old Tal was made to leave Seville in 1987 because of his previous work with Karpov. Poor guy was in tears! he loved chess and was very nice
I remember Anand mentioning in an interview he didn't like Kasparov so much after this game and doesn't want to drink a beer with Kasparov. lol 6:21 Kasparov was a bit of a dick. But that is what it takes to be one of the greatest of all time I guess. He is a great guy and I would drink a beer for sure. Great stuff.

Fernando Semprun Sorry, 'some Karpov team insiders' (who shall remain anonymous!)
Kasparov doing what the latter day Kasparov did best, winning via preparation.

Wooow Spassky match was great
great video, just wondering if Karparov could have defended so brilliantly, although in vain, against such kind of preparation by Anand
