Oct-15-03		Honza Cervenka: "Crazy rook" failed to save white.

Oct-15-03		AdrianP: <Honza> Love it... do you no any other games with such spectacular stalemate sacs (successful ones included!). I like the way the B king munches the pawns before settling on the key e3 square.

Oct-15-03		Honza Cervenka: <AdrianP> See Ehrhardt Post vs Nimzowitsch, 1905 or Matulovic vs Suttles, 1970

Oct-16-03		chessgames.com: Thanks, Honza, for this great find.

Oct-16-03		JSYantiss: The players missed a draw by repetition here after move 26...Qe7. This position had just been repeated three times with that move.

Oct-16-03		Honza Cervenka: I think that the rule was then a little bit different. Threefold repetition of moves was necessary for a chance to claim the draw, not only a treefold repetition of position like it is in present. The threefold repetition of moves did not occur here as black did not play 27...Qh4.

Jun-12-04		Chesspatch: Haha, love the annotation... so many "+"'s.

Feb-06-05		Milo: Why not 45...Kxd5 46.Re5+ Kc4 47.Re4+ Rd4 ?

Feb-06-05		akiba82: <Milo> Your variation is quicker, I think Blanco was just toying with his opponent, enjoying the game.

Dec-21-05		AlexanderMorphy: lol funny looking final position!
