Dec-21-05		oao2102: I believe that this variation of the Ruy Lopez is also known as the Bronstein variation

Aug-03-06		Honza Cervenka: Quite surprizing mating final in position with reduced material.

Mar-05-08		Knight13: Yeah that was really sneaky. Didn't see it coming. White must've missed ...h5!!

Dec-15-08		YoungEd: I read somewhere (sorry, but I forgot where) that Alekhine played a wider variety of "irregular" defenses to the Ruy than most masters. He does a good job here, though after move 9 you wouldn't think his position was anything special.

Jul-05-09		WhiteRook48: no one ever talks about two rooks on the <eighth> rank
