Jan-15-04		nikt: 16...bc2!! cold shower and end of the game; for me AA was the best player ever

Jan-15-04		tamar: Sure gets wild quick. A little echo here of his most famous promotion game Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

Apr-03-05		THE pawn: Surely that was an obvious move, but I think I wouldn't have played it, considering the queen's always been my main arsenal...I wouldn't have taken the chance, unless I was 3409% sure.

Aug-25-05		offramp: This reminds me a lot of Karpov vs Kasparov, 1993.

May-12-12		jgsimmons: For white, wouldn't 13 Rxc5 have been better?
