Aug-02-04		kingrook: that check mate is awsome

Aug-30-04		wall: Why not just 24.Bxh3 instead of 24.Bf4 as in the game? 30.Bh6?? leads to mate in one, but why not 30 Kf3 and White may survive.

Dec-05-04		buscher07: Nice. What good does the last Bishop move do??

Dec-05-04		e4Newman: 12.f3 seems like a move I'd never consider. It blocks the fianchettoed bishop and invites the pin on the diagonal (13...Qb6). Is white trying to support the centre? The e4 pawn seems safe. If you're considering options, why not attack black's centre with f4?

Apr-05-05		buscher07: I really don't see anything wrong with f4. I guess that it just depends on what your plan is and how you want to achieve that plan by what move you make in the game.

Apr-05-05		RookFile: I guess, if 30. Kf3, black plays 30.... h5.... is this right?

Apr-05-05		buscher07: That would make sense.

Oct-05-09		DonJuanMD: 29... Rd1 or 29... g4 are better choices. Bh6 was definitely a blunder... Surgies didnt see mating threat @ f1.

Mar-05-10		jmay: great thrashing. really like how fischer lures the rook in on move 23. cruel

Jan-27-12		screwdriver: Fischer tearing up the Milwaukee area on this one. I remember Mark Surgies in some past tournaments. I always remember him in the 1800-1900 range.
