You are Garry Kasparov.
b. 1963 · The Beast of Baku · meet the legend
Round 4, Wijk aan Zee, January 1999. Topalov has just dropped his queen back to d6, offering a trade that would drain all the venom from the position. You are Garry Kasparov — and the next ten moves are often called the greatest combination ever played: a rook sacrifice that sends the black king marching from a7 into your half of the board, never to return.
