Aug-27-07		BlackNightmare: oh my god! karpov signature play style 54)Ra2 is incredible

Aug-27-07		Honza Cervenka: <54)Ra2 is incredible> 64.Ra2 is almost forced due to threat ...Bd6+ with next RxR. Of course, 64.Nxb4 or 64.Nb6 were clearly inferior alternatives.

Sep-19-07		BlackNightmare: that was my poiny most players would exchange that knight with bishop but why i said it was great because it prepared that sort of rook lift on c2 and that was it the rook penetrates the other half of the board and its pretty much over

May-21-10		Billy Ray Valentine: Doesn't 43...Qe4+ (instead of 43...Re2+) draw by perpetual? Seems like there were a few mistakes in this game--but I guess it is a rapid game...
