Grischuk ? Kasparov 57th ch-RUS, Moscow (11) 2004+ruffian

[mike schoonover]

hi all,
got my chesseville weekly newsletter today.
i followed this link to see a report on the russian super finals.
http://www.chesscafe.com/misha/rsf2004.htm

here is the game from round 11,Grischuch v Kasparov.

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 Ng4 7.Bc1 Nf6 8.f3 b6 9.g4 Nc6 10.Nb3 e6 11.Qe2 Qc7 12.Be3 b5 13.O-O-O Nd7 14.Qf2 Rb8 15.f4 Na5

According to Kasparov, this plan with ?Na5 fails to impress, and White obtained the better game.

16.Ba7 Ra8 17.Bd4 Bb7 18.Nxa5 Qxa5 19.Kb1 Rc8

Grischuk offered a pawn sacrifice, but Kasparov?s reply probably allowed Grischuk a choice of aggressive plans. Grandmasters Shipov and Nikitin, Kasparov?s former trainer, suggested 19...b4 20.Ne2 e5 with typical Sicilian counterplay.

20.Bg2 b4 21.Ne2 Nf6 2.Bxf6 gxf6 23.Ng3 Qc5 24.Qe2 Be7 25.h4 h6 26.Nh5 Rc7 27.g5 fxg5 28.hxg5 Kd7 29.e5 Kc8 30.exd6 Bxd6 31.Nf6 Bxg2 32.Qxg2 Qc6 33.Qf2 h5 34.Rxh5 Rxh5 35.Nxh5 Kb7 36.Rf1 a5 37.Qf3 Qxf3 38.Rxf3 Rc5 39.c3 ?-?

this score must be incorrect.see move 9...Nc6?

this is what ruffian thinks.whats the correct score?any body know?

thanks igor.
they have a misprint there.
funny i followed the whole game with the misprint,
came out to a drawish position any way by transposition.
