Feb-07-06		Knight13: This opening is like the transposed version of the Bird's Opening. And 16. Qxe5? is bad. I think 16. Rb1 and 17. b4 or 17. a3 followed by b4 is better. Note that 16. Rb1 makes the Qxe5 move safer.

Dec-20-08		whiteshark: <just a kid> Learning is essential to improve in chess. Thus I would like to suggest that you show me your drawing line first. :D (Hint: White's threat is Ne3-g4 --> Nh6+ --> Nxf7)

Dec-21-08		just a kid: It's rather long and I don't want to type the whole thing out.

Feb-20-09		2064: 22. Rxb7, Rxd3 Pawn formation devastated and knight in danger. Bad idea, Hurwitz’s move was sound.
