May-02-05		Knight13: This game is blundery and mastery! Good game.

Jul-14-09		Knight13: 6...a6 is a wasted move; Steinitz was simply being nice on not criticizing it to that degree. Of course, MacLeod must've realized that his attack wasn't working out (uncoordinated pieces randomly checking the white king isn't going to be enough)

Jul-14-09		WhiteRook48: 22 Qxf7 isn't as good
