Nov-14-04		alspookyd: Maybe one of you guys can help me out with this one? Is there a win, or the position/material differences favor white so much that he resigned?

Nov-14-04		Benzol: <alspookyd> 23...f8 24.g7 looks very good for White. He's threatening 25.xf8+ followed by 26.xa8 and also 25.xh6. 23...d7 allows 24.xa8 and there are some nasty threats along the d-file, dxc6+ being a possibility. I don't think Geller resigned too soon.

Apr-11-05		offramp: Geller is known for his opening experiments but I think he goes a bit too far here.
