/* ---------- "Kasaparov: at last a new champion !" ---------- */

At the conclusion of the final game of the KK championship, Kasparov
played 42 ... N-Q5ch when he could have played N-K6ch, winning
Karpov's queen, at least.  Karpov resigned anyway, and "which move was
stronger" isn't my question.  I was wondering, while going over the
game, whether Kasparov was trying to humiliate Karpov or spare him
humiliation, by playing the "inferior move."  Or maybe there was a
quicker mate after N-Q5ch that I missed.
