Aug-09-05		bomb the bishop: Was 9. Nd5 forced or could black have taken the knight on g5?

Aug-29-05		jorgegatica: The standard answer is to take the knight on g5 and after Bg5 to develop the Qn to d7. Black was experimenting with an alternative which seems to be worse.

May-09-08		Samagonka: Very good game to watch.

Jun-02-08		vonKrolock: <21...c2> Now this is at least unnecessary. Euwe commented that white was threatening h5-f3 "with a quick decision", but this is wrong. Black could play now 21...a7! and, after, say 22.h5 c4 23.f3 h7! and his position is a fortress... More probably, Stahlberg overlooked 23.a6! when he played 21...c3-c2 - actually, giving away a whole for almost nothing. Even so, the game is very interesting, and an excellent sample of Flohr's style

Jan-24-11		Kazzak: Maybe Flohr should have considered a move other than 10.Nf3? Maybe the implications of 10.Nxf7 didn't appeal to him.

Oct-19-12		superstoned: <Kazzak> check out Belavenets vs Ragozin 1939 for 10.Nxf7. Great game.
