Jun-24-04		Spitecheck: Talk about addiction to the bishop pair, this dude evidently values it above his king :).

Aug-05-04		sergeidave: Shouldn't the last move read like 12.Nxf3#?

Mar-02-05		Kingsandsquares: Yes, it should.

Mar-03-05		Kingsandsquares: And it does now...Magic!

May-24-05		Bobak Zahmat: Genieus!!!!!

Jul-25-05		woodenbishop: Absolutely brilliant!!

Sep-04-05		Averageguy: Whats so great about this game?

Nov-28-05		child of my tears: 4. Be2 followed by 5. Bf1 is so ugly. Perhaps bishops are better than knights, but they certainly aren't so good you'd want to lose two tempos in the early opening just to keep them.

Nov-28-05		RookFile: Even after this, 6. d4! is not so bad for white.

Feb-04-06		DeepBlade: I dont know but shouldnt move 10. ...Nh4 give discovered check? Good game!.

Jun-24-06		Poisonpawns: Beautiful albeit common trap akin to the trap in the two knights defense.If you know that trap this trap is very easy to see .

Oct-05-06		McCool: That was beautiful.

Nov-20-06		Melonhead: Yes. Pretty Game. Deep Blade is right. 10. ... Nh4 should have a +.

Dec-22-06		Rubenus: <AverageGuy> I think it is a joke. I wonder why it is in so many game collections.

Feb-04-07		Dr.Lecter: Wonder if I can do this

Dec-11-08		hedgeh0g: It's hilarious just seeing that bishop poke its head out on move 4, only to be attacked by the knight, at which point it humbly retreats :P

Jun-08-09		roastedrook: I'm sorry but Rabinovich played like a 3 years old kid !!!
