Jun-19-04		Chessical: Saint Amant's <24.d5!?> was extremely sharp, and probably entailed much more that he had reaslised on playing it. <25.Rxc3?!>gives Staunton a powerful combination, but: <25.dxc6> Bd4 26.cxb7 Bxe3 27.bxc8Q Bxf2+ 28.Kxf2 Rxc8 is complex with a Q and 2P for a R, B+ N. Both players missed the very suprising <27...Nd4!!> 28.Rxc8 Nxe2+ 29.Kf2 Rxc8 30.Kxe2 Bxd5 The ending is completely drawn and well played. Saint Amant was unlikely to fall for <44.Kg5??> b4

Apr-10-08		Knight13: <Chessical: Saint Amant's <24.d5!?> was extremely sharp> Agreed. Black's 23...Nc6?! made that available. Me thinks Black should've left the knight on a5 and keep the pressure on c4, while giving the b7 bishop a great scope in controlling important squares.
