Kibitzer's Corner
May-29-04   mack: Whoops now Allen.
Feb-16-05   jesterco12: I feel dumb. I don't understand the problem here.
Feb-16-05   Dudley: You can't lose two pawns for no compensation against Koltanowski and have the faintest chance of surviving.
Mar-07-05   Mate Hunter: Black could play 4...Bd7 instead of 4...Nd7, then black don't lose the pawn on d5.
Mar-15-05   Autoreparaturwerkbau: One way or another, can you estimate the rating of black's play? I wouldn't go over 1200.
Jan-09-06   Jim Bartle: Maybe it was black who was playing blindfold.
Feb-18-07   Rubenus: <Jim Bartle> If it is a simul, then usually the blind player has white. Besides, white is one of the best blindfold players ever. But I agree that black played horribly.
Sep-17-07   sfm: If you can play 2.-,c5 you should not resign here but play on and try to learn.
May-08-08   Salaskan: If Black played 4...Bd7 the game would continue 5.Bxd7+ Nxd7 6.exd5 1-0, so that really doesn't matter.
Jun-08-08   TheKingOfSpades: i am of the belief that c5 while questionable (esp against Kolty), was nowhere near as horrible for black as d5?.
Jun-19-08   number 23 NBer: I guess it's agreed that 2... c5 is not a good move, seeing as it's a 'Theoretical Novelty' according to this database.
Mar-16-09   TheTamale: It is certainly odd that someone who plays as weakly as Black does here would survive after a mere two pawn deficit.
Mar-16-09   MaxxLange: He seems to be very fond of his grudges.
Mar-16-09   MaxxLange: please disregard the above comment - I posted it in the wrong place
