Sep-23-03		bishop: A nice discovered mate by Chigorin. I think 8...e4, an early overextension, was the beginning of Black's troubles.

May-06-05		Whitehat1963: Is 12...Kd8 a simple fix?

May-26-05		perfidious: If I'd played Black in this game, 12...Kd8 would have been an easy choice-the consequences of the actual line of play are only too apparent.

Nov-16-08		FSR: 7.0-0 was inaccurate (7.d4! is correct), to which Black should have responded immediately with 7...e4! rather than allowing White to get in d4 on the next move. And yes, 12...Ke7? was a big fat lemon.

Jan-21-09		WhiteRook48: excellent mating net/

Jul-17-09		Knight13: Chigorin must've bought a beer after this game.
