Jul-29-04		Knight13: Good game by Bird.

Sep-20-04		Knight13: Bird's attacks in this game is very good. 25... Nh6? Not a good idea since 30. Rxf1+ is waiting. And 29... Dxc4? Is not good either that it gives white a check on the 8th rank. Black might thought of taking the c4 pawns is like this: 30. bxc4 Bxc4 31. Qd8+ Kg7 and stops the mate with the light squared bishop.

May-06-05		schnarre: White apparently knew better than to play 30. bxc4. Indeed a good game by Bird!

Jul-14-09		waustad: Bird Medley sounds rather like the rather strange dish called turducken.
