Kasparov himself commented, “Wonderful game by Rapport! And I thank him for refreshing some fond memories of my own games with 15..Nxd5! similar to what I played against Jan Timman in two games (Moscow 1981 & Linares 1992). As Miracle Max said in The Princess Bride, the King’s Indian is only mostly dead!” Here is a collection of reactions about the game Pragg vs Richard Raport.
