Feb-20-05		nasmichael: Golsta plays aggressively here, but Flohr brings some good responses to the aggressive questions.

Nov-21-10		roastedrook: doesn't deserve to be the game of the day :(

Nov-21-10		KholdStare: I agree it's not exactly a great game, but it's Flohr's birthday after all.

Nov-21-10		Tigranny: Must've been selected as game of the day because the Kg2?? blunder and the Nf4 fork of the king, queen, and rook. Happy birthday Flohr though.

Nov-21-10		goodevans: You can't call Kg2 a blunder - it's the only move! If there was a "blunder" at the end then it was 34 Qxe6. After that all white's moves were forced.

Nov-21-10		WhiteRook48: family fork

Nov-21-10		licuan: Salomon Flohr did some fork sweeping . . . . nice GOTD!

Nov-21-10		Naugh: Nice three-pronged fork.

Nov-21-10		Chessmensch: Gosta la vista, baby. No pride in that.

Nov-21-10		ICCM Bart Gibbons: Instead of 20. Bxh7+, 20.Qh5 looks very strong.

Nov-21-10		RandomVisitor: <ICCM Bart Gibbons>20.Qh5 might not be best due to 20...g6 21.Qg4 Nxe5 22.dxe5 Qxb2 but I could be wrong...

Nov-21-10		RandomVisitor: 21.Rc6! is playable and arguably best. click for larger view Incredibly, bxc6 sets up a perpetual check where white can take the pawn on e6: 21.Rc6! bxc6 (Qxc6=) 22.g6+ fxg6 23.Qh3+ Kg8 24.Qxe6+

Nov-22-10		kevin86: It looked like white was going to win this opus,but black rallied to "FLOHR" his opponent.
