Dec-23-03		Lawrence: 22.....Qa8 was weak, it would have been better to accept the exchange of Queens playing 22.....Ba1 or e5 for example. (Junior 8)

Apr-16-05		aw1988: What is the point of Ba1?

Apr-30-06		patzer2: Capa's 15. Nd5! discovered attack threat begins a series of strong deflections to exploit White's space advantage. After 22...Qa8? 23. Bg4! Capa's attack on Black's weakened castled position becomes decisive.
