Dec-02-03		raylopez99: Nice Kolty minature. I would have just taken the queen, but Kolty goes for mate, blindfold!

Dec-08-04		nasmichael: These types of games show how the vision of the Master far outreaches his opponent; they play by the same rules, but they do not play the same game. :o) --Send a team together --Take the center --Threaten the King --Sacrifice for tempo --Converge and corner

Jun-27-07		ChessDude33: <SneechLatke> doesn't compare to the move after i'd say

Nov-27-07		hesyrett: I very much doubt that Black was the Canadian IM Lawrence Day, even though he would have been in grade school in 1960. For one thing, his home in Ottawa was a long way from S.F. For another, I know from losses to him in the mid 1960s, when he was in high school and I was a grad student, that he played MUCH better than this!!
