Oct-06-04		IMlday: draw? no thanks..playing t win = playing t lose.

Oct-06-04		IMlday: 6.Qd2!? --that's the move that freaked me!

Oct-06-04		Minor Piece Activity: yes Watson always played weird, and with his new book series ("Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy") everyone can learn how to play weird like him too. =)

Oct-06-04		IMlday: I missed my moment to play 'weirder' like 6..Qb8!? maybe best.. ??

Oct-06-04		clocked: I like the diagonal move of both white knights from move 9 to 15. White frees his bad piece with the exchange sac, but black ends the game with the king knight sitting on the start square.

Oct-06-04		IMlday: You've found the critical phase. 9..e6 would have avoided it!

Oct-06-04		Minor Piece Activity: What's interesting is that white doesn't castle until the 25th move and black never castles! Was 7...h5?! really that good of an idea? It made ...f5 more weakening.
