Kasparov is too deep for Stockfish

Featured is the game between Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik from the 1994 Novgorod Tournament. Starting from a Sicilian Sveshnikov, the players eventually reach an opposite sides castles position, where Kasparov launches an attack on Kramnik's kingside. The winning tactical combination executed by Kasparov is particularly aesthetic, rendering Stockfish unable to fully appreciate its depth.
