Jan-23-04		Honza Cervenka: 22...Bc5 was a decisive mistake allowing a little pretty combination.

Dec-25-05		Takchessbooks: It's unclear to me why black resigned? can someone explain this to me? Thanks

Dec-25-05		Eric Schiller: <takechess> Two pawns is more than enough at that level of play, and Black's d-pawn is weak. There was no reason to play on. The h-pawn just runs down the board.

Dec-25-05		CapablancaFan: 2 isolated pawns vs. 4 connected passed pawns and your playing someone of Reti's calibure? There was simply no reason to continue.

Feb-16-10		Dr. J: <Honza Cervenka: 22...Bc5 was a decisive mistake allowing a little pretty combination.> I'm not sure about that. After 22 ... Bc5 23 Rb5 Black can play 23 ... Qa3 24 Qxa3 Bxa3 25 Bxd5 Bxd5 26 Rxd5 White has a pawn and the initiative, but, with all the pawns on one side, is Black really lost? (I'm not sure even computer programs could tell. This sort of thing is not their strong point.) (That said, Honza is a waaay better player than I am.)

Feb-16-10		Honza Cervenka: <Dr. J> The problem with 23...Qa3 is that white will not play 24.Qxa3 but take the Bishop on c5 instead by Bishop or Rook winning a piece.
