Gary starts with the white pieces and begins the game with e4. The world responds with the Sicilian defence (1…c5) The games continues with 2. Nf3 2… d6 3.Bb5+ which is the Moscow variation. A trade of bishops then occurs with 3…Bd7 4.Bxd7 4…Qxd7 Gary then plays 5.c4, entering a Maroćzy bind, which is a way to restrict your opponent's play. 5… Nc6 6. Nc3 6…Nf6 7.O-O 7…g7 is played, with black preparing for a kingside fianchetto. White plays 8.d4 opening up the centre, and after the exchange of pawns with 8…cxd4 and 9. Nxd4, Black plays 9…Bg7, black has completed his kingside fianchetto. White then retreats his knight with 10.Nde2. Black creates a novelty by playing 10…Qe6.

Play continues with 11.Nd5, threatening a fork on c3. 11…Qxe4 12.Nxc7+ fork 12… Kd7 13.Nxa1 13… Qxc4. White is up by 3 points but his knight is trapped and cannot move, so after 14.Nb6, forcing Black to double pawns with 14…axb6, the material balance is equal. White develops his knight with 15.Nc3, fighting for the centre. Black plays 15…Ra8 controlling the open file. White responds with 16.a4, stopping b5 and preparing Ra3 for the future. 16…Ne4 is played and White trades the knights with 17.Nxe4 Qxe4. 18. Qb3 forks the b6 pawn and f7 pawn. 18…f5 is played by Black, aiming to get more space on the kingside. White plays 19. Bb5, developing the bishop and putting pressure on the e7 pawn. Black offers and queen trade with 19…Qb4 and White declines with 20.Qf7. Play continues as such: 20…Be5 21.h3 21…Rxa4 22.Rxa4 22…Qxa4 23.Qxh7 23…Bxb2 24.Qxg6 24…Qe4 — defending the f5 pawn — 25.Qf7 25…Bd4 26.Qb3 with the idea of Qb1 and trading queens, getting a active rook and an endgame with an outside passed h-pawn. 26…f4 fights on the kingside and 27.Qf7 attacks the weakened f4 pawn. 27…Be5 protects the f4 pawn. We continue with 28.h4 28…b5 29.h5 29…Qc4 offering a queen trade 30.Qf5+ 30…Qe6 31.Qxe6, with White opting to trade this way, and going into the endgame.

The endgame starts with 31…Kxe6 32.g3 32…fxg3 33.fxg3 33…b4 with Black trying to push his own pawn. 34. Bf4 offers to trade bishops. Black declines with 34… Bd4+ and 35.Kh1 35…b3 36.g4 36… Kd5, with Black activating his king. 37.g5 37…e6 38.h6 38…Ne7 39.Rd4 pins the bishop to the king. 39…e5 kicks the bishop. 40.Be3 40…Kc4 41.Bxd4 41…exd4 and both the b pawns and d pawns are doubled. 42. Kg2 42…b2 getting closer to the promotion square. 43.Kf3 43…Kc3 44.h7 44…Ng6 45.Ke4 45…Kc2 46.Rh1 46…d3 47.Kf5 47…b1=Q promoting, leaving the knight hanging. 48.Rxb1 48…Kxb1 49.Kxg6 taking the knight. 49…d2 50.h8=Q 50…d1=Q and both sides now have queens. 51. Qh7 51…b5?? which loses the game. 52.Kf6+ (discovered check) 52…Kb2 53.Qh2 53…Ka1 54.Qf4, stopping Qd4+, Qf3+ and Qf1+. 54…b4, deflecting the Queen away from the f4 square. 55. Qxb4 55…Qf3+ 56.Kg7 56…d5 57.Qd4+ 57…Kb1 58.g6 58…Qe4 offering a queen trade. 59.Qg1+ declines 59…Kb2 60.Qf2+ 60…Kc1 61.Kf6. By using checks, White stops Qd4+ and Qf4+. After 61…d4 62.g7, Black resigns because you cannot stop the pawn from promoting. Gary beats the world in 1999.
