Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-28-06  cuaternion: Move 33 should be Rf4+#, right ? I can't see no escape for black.
Mar-07-08  Knight13: The position after 10...g6 means that Black's positionally dead. I mean, what the heck is 2...f5?!
Feb-05-12  Knight13: Looks like Saint Amant didn't learn from his mistake from Game 2 of this match: Staunton vs Saint Amant, 1843. He plays the same weak opening and gets smashed again.

6... Be7 is better. ... Qa5+ is a waste.

Feb-07-12  Knight13: <6... Be7 is better. ... Qa5+ is a waste.> Actually, 6... Be7 7. Qh5+ g6 8. Qh4 Bxg5 9. Nxg5 followed by Qh6 and Black is worse.
