Nov-25-07		goldenbear: Does White not have a nice advantage here after say 31.f3? Seems like this is one that should be played out to me.

Apr-17-09		Peligroso Patzer: In the tournament book ["New York 1924", by Alekhine, Alexander, Russell Enterprises (c)2008], Alekhine says if 10. e4, White would find it difficult to protect the d-pawn "for instance, after 10. ... Nh5 11. Be3 f5"; but in this line, Black would be in trouble after 12. exf5 (if now 12. ... gxf5, then 13. Nh4 with a clear advantage for White).

Feb-23-13		RookFile: I think that if white plays 31. f3, black can just keep moving his king towards the queenside, and he'll be ok.

Mar-12-13		Ulhumbrus: With Black's queen squirrelled away on the queen side after 13...Qa7 this suggests White is advised to play for a king side attack, perhaps by advancing the e pawn eg 14 Rac1 Rac8 15 e4 Nd7 16 e5
