Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-03-05  Knight13: 7... d4? A mistake which gives White a better game.

And the funny thing is that Blackburne missed the 19... Nfe4# move!

Good game.

Aug-29-05  SnoopDogg: Heh how many times did Blackburne miss mate in 1?
Sep-24-06  Toastman: why continue to think when you have already seen a forced mate?
