Jun-02-03		ksadler: I realize that this is against weak competition but I like the way that Botwinnik finished him off.

Jun-02-03		drukenknight: 20...Rxf3 may be better.

Jun-03-03		tayer: After 20. ... Rxf3 21. gxf3, it's hard to find a good answer to the threat 22. Rg1.

Jun-05-03		drukenknight: good all tayer, that line is brutal. what if we go 20...Bxe6 21 QxB Qf8 looking for checks on b4?

Jun-06-03		Bears092: 22. Rxd5

Apr-28-04		tayer: 20. ... xe6 21. h6+ g8 22. xe6+ f7 23. e5 e8 24. xf7 xf7 25. xf7 xf7 26. xd4

Mar-08-06		laskerdog: What a breath taker. It seems that black punishes 14.Bxh7 with the silent 15.-g6, but Botvinnik was in full control and later exploited the pin of the black Rook gruesomely.

Sep-19-08		TheTamale: You can just hear Black's "doh!" after the final move.

Sep-20-08		whiteshark: You have a huge problem if you can't unpin.

Sep-20-08		whiteshark: Poor play by Black. It looks as if cleaning the kingside is his main goal. I just don't like 9...Na5, 10...Nb6 11...Bd6 and 12...0-0 is already the losing move ...etc....

Jan-03-10		Ychromosome: How often is Rd1 played in QG lines? It made the pawn push possible that kept this attack strong.

Jan-04-12		Knight13: <Ychromosome: How often is Rd1 played in QG lines? It made the pawn push possible that kept this attack strong.> As often as the position calls for it. But more often in QGA than QGD.
