Jul-31-05		sharkbenjamin: Bird would have been proud!!!!!!!

Jul-31-05		SneechLatke: White goes after the black king with a vengeance. The sacrifice 16.h1 is especially fun and is not at all obvious upon first glance.

Jul-31-05		SneechLatke: Hmm, on closer examination my previous comment seems mistaken. Once 16.h1 is spotted, it becomes clear it's a good move, what with the threat of g1 followed by capturing on f6 and a mate on g7. I still find it to be quite entertaining, as with many other "quiet" attacking moves.

Jul-08-07		ganstaman: I'm having a little trouble (I'll blame it on being tired) -- how does 17...axb2 lose?

Jul-08-07		SwitchingQuylthulg: <ganstaman> 17...axb2?? 18.Qh6 Nh5 (or ...Ne8) 19.Rxg7+ Nxg7 20.Rg1 and mate at g7 cannot be stopped. However, 17...Kh8! might have left Black up a piece, although he must still be very careful with White's attack.

Jul-08-07		ganstaman: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Ah, thanks. 19. Rxg7+ was the move I got wrong. Great game.
