Dec-20-02		mrwonkabar: Excellent defense by Levenfish! Could white have won somewhere is the question...

Dec-20-02		mdorothy: Ok, I have an instint move here that I want you to analyze and hopefully ill find time to also.. try 20. Qf4. It attacks the undefended knight and allows the queen much more play on attacking the kingside. The only thing I'm worried about is whether white can withstand black's attack on the queenside if he starts with 20...Nd3+? All I know right now is it looks scary, definately too scary for me to try it OTB..

Dec-03-03		Honza Cervenka: What about 32.Nc4?

Dec-03-03		Calli: 32.Nc4 looks good. Maybe 32.Nd4 is fine too, but didn't Black miss 30...Bb5! 31.Qxb5 Nd3+ 32.Qxd3 Qxd3? Looks forced.

Dec-08-03		Honza Cervenka: <Calli> You are right. 30...Bb5 is a nice winning shot.
