Dec-30-04		MidnightDuffer: Maroczy let's the a file pawn go for nothing around move # 29; otherwise without this oversight; I wonder what some of the more expert analysts would think of Maroczy's chances on this would have been; a stronger defence against the advancing pawns on the Queenside was needed. Black's c5 move in either the Bogo or Nimzo - Indian is one slick exciting move.

Dec-31-04		hintza: Instead of recapturing with the b-pawn on move 12, 12...dxc6 makes black's Q-side easier to defend, e.g. 13.a3 Qd6 14.Qe1 Ba5 15.Rd1 Qe7 with an equal game.

Aug-08-06		prinsallan: 35 Qd5 - Very cool finish by the master. The continuation goes: 35... exd5 36. Rxe7+ Kg8 37. cxd5 and the situation is hopeless. The pawns on A+B are simply too strong with the Rook on e1 ready to storm e6, forcing a rooktrade or mate.
