Apr-21-02		ryhon77: great ending!!

May-06-02		Doctor Who: Yes! It took me a minute but now I see, the game would have continued 44. Kh2 Qh3+ 45. Kg1 Nf3 mate

May-06-02		bishop: White should have prevented the black queen from reaching e2 by playing 39.Qc2 even though this would have cost him his b-pawn.

Apr-04-08		Knight13: <bishop: White should have prevented the black queen from reaching e2 by playing 39.Qc2 even though this would have cost him his b-pawn.> In that case 39. Rc2, saving his b-pawn, looks better to me!!

Aug-27-11		sevenseaman: A very tenacious Bird.

Aug-27-11		Moodler: The Bird is the word!

Aug-27-11		HeMateMe: The <Wormald Attack> sounds like something from a Harry Potter book.

Aug-27-11		SimonWebbsTiger: @<HeMateMe> Robert Bownas Wormald

Aug-27-11		whiteshark: Blackbird control

Aug-27-11		profK: Bit of a timeless game ... I could see this being played last week !! White certainly let something slip, he had the space and the aggression. Tsk Tsk

Aug-27-11		JohnBoy: I was very impressed with white's play up until about move 36 - maneuvering for the b pawn. But then what happens is very typical of my games. I get what I believe to be a good position and then over-reach. BAM - down-slapped.

Aug-27-11		kevin86: Black's attack is the salt on Bird's tail.

Aug-27-11		weisyschwarz: Early Bird doesn't get the Wormald.

Aug-27-11		HeMateMe: Great Pun, W.

Aug-27-11		Elo: I haven't check it with an engine yet, but 38.Qc3 looks to be winning. (With the idea of following with Rb2 then Rb3.)
