Its not really Kasparovs variation. The c3-line was introduced by some as a new weapon quite recently. The point with the line is an early ne5 when black has problem meating the threat Qa4 satisfactory. Akopian knew that, and thats  why he played 8...a6!?. Note that 9 Be3 has been  played by Anand. 9 Bg5 is more critical and black may have problems reaching fully satisfactory positions.

Black still have some problems in the Kasparov's variation in Rubinstein system.

One game played in Petrosian memorial 2004 (where great armenian players prefer French!):


Adams-Akopian, Petrosian Memorial June 2004.

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nd7 5. Nf3 Ngf6 6. Nxf6+ Nxf6 7. c3 { Adams-Anand,Linares 2002 } c5 { 7...Qd5!? (Dom) } 8.Ne5 { Kasparov's variation. Kasparov-Ponomariov,Linares 2002 (Chesspublishing) ; 8.Be3 } a6 { 8...Nd7 see  Kasparov's game named above } 9. Bg5 Be7 {9...h6 Murariu-Jakab,Budapest 2003 } 10. dxc5 Qxd1+ 11. Rxd1 Bxc5 12. Be2 h6 13. Bh4 g5 14. Bg3 Ne4 15. Bf3 Nxg3 16. hxg3 Ke7 17. Bxb7 Bxb7 18. Rd7+ Kf6 19. f4 gxf4 20.gxf4 Kf5 21. Rxf7+ Ke4 22. Rxb7 Rag8 23. Rc7 Be3 24. Rc4+ Kd5 25. Rh5 1-0
