Jan-17-05		InspiredByMorphy: Incredible game! Falkbeer's play is genius, sacking a bishop (24.Bxh6!)immediately followed by a rook (25.Rxf6!) to leave blacks king in a hopelessy exposed position. I think Morphy would have enjoyed watching this game.

Jan-17-05		tamar: 33 e5!! is necessary to keep the combination going, but it occurs 9 moves later.

Oct-08-07		Antiochus: Unbelievable!!
