Dec-21-01		Sargon: After 15. Nf6+ what's wrong with ...gxf6?

Dec-25-01		Smartypants: Nothing that I can see!

Nov-26-02		morphynoman2: Magic!

Nov-26-02		drukenknight: can black still save this at the end?

Nov-27-02		Honza Cervenka: I don't think so. 19...Ne5 (What else?) 20.Bxe5 Bb6 (white threatens with Bc7) 21.Bd6 Bd4 22.Bxe7 Bxf6 23.Bxd8 Rxf7 24.Nxf7+ etc.

Dec-30-03		shark62: 15....gxf6 16 exf6 hxg5 17 f6xe7looks strong if 16 Rxf6 then queen takes h6 and black has problems

Dec-20-06		who: After 4.exf5 isn't white just better?

Dec-10-11		Sleeping kitten: After 15...gxf6 16. exf6? xf6 17. xh6 White has hardly any immediate threats, except 18. xf4. So Black plays 17...e5 with a strong position, not only preventing the aforementioned threat, but also indulging a threat of its own (18...e4, cutting the bishop from the attack). However, White can answer 15...gxf6 with 16. xh6 fxg5 17. xg6 xg6 18. xg6+ and perpetual. Finally, Black could play 15...xf6! 16. exf6 e5! 17. h5 xf6 and at the low expense of rook against knight and pawn, Black has repelled White's attack, acquired a dangerous center majority and taken over the initiative.

Jan-14-12		maxx4.68: Qf7!! brilliant move!
