Jan-06-05		Brian Watson: white won, genius. 5.Nh3! heads to d5 and prevents ..Qg5

Apr-10-08		Knight13: <Jaymthegenius: Nh3??? 5.exf5 would be much better.> If you're talking about Black trading a side-pawn with white's central pawn making that move bad then I understand you. But 5. Nh3 is better.

Oct-28-09		samsloan: This is one of the worst games that I have ever seen. I do not understand how this can be regarded as a world championship game. Sam Sloan

Feb-05-12		Knight13: 20... Nxd3 is probably better. <samsloan> I understand. Especially White's moves from 26 to 32. Then there's 38... Be4? among others (11... Bf6, etc.).
