  fred lennox: A devastating example of Staunton by forcing or nearly forcing a queen excbange he restritcs or cramps the opponents position.
Sep-04-05   jcmoral: What is the point of 20.Ne1 ? Why doesn't White take the pawn on g7?
Sep-04-05   samvega: <jcmoral> If 20.Rxg7, black can win the exchange with either the intermediate move 20..Bf3+, or the interference moves 20..Ng4 or ..Bg4.

A move later, 21.Rxg7 would be met by 21..Nxd3, with a similar situation.

  Knight13: This is a very modern-style game, with a very good strategic viewpoint by Staunton!
