Aug-27-04		wall: Instead of 41...g5, perhaps 41...Ke5. Instead of 42...Rf7, perhaps 42...Rh6 protecting his rook pawn. Maybe Black can draw with 47...c4. After 52Rxg5, White wins after 52...h3+ 53.Kxh3 Kxf3 54.e5.

Oct-06-11		altai: Why not 17...Ne4?

Oct-07-11		sneaky pete: <altai> Because of 18.Bc4+ Kh8 19.Nf7+ .. when black is forced to give up the exchange with no counter chances at all.
