Jun-21-05		Everett: MATE!

Sep-19-05		woodenbishop: Mate Danish style!

Sep-19-05		who: Games like these make me wonder if the Dutch is just plain unsound. Within 15 moves it's clear that black will need to spend the rest of the game hoping that he can somehow get his king away from his castled position. He doesn't have his dark squared bishop and his pawn structure offers only weakness.

Aug-28-07		kkshethin: White was totally in command.Black miserably countering. Queen moving at 31st move. Simply astonishing attack

Aug-28-07		euripides: Perhaps 10...cxd5 is already dubious; MCO gives 10...Bd7. 15...Rf6 looks artificial, but perhaps Black is trying to organise e5. 16.c5 is a crucial moment; the obvious answer is 16...dxc5 when perhaps White can secure the e5 square by 17.Qc3 delaying the recapture on c5, which looks good for him. Once White isolates the d pawn with 17.cxd6 he looks comfortably better.

Sep-14-12		marljivi: If 41...Kf7,then 42.Qg8Ke7 43.f6!Kf6 44.Rf5 with mate in a few moves. Black came out of the opening with very difficult position.
