Jul-23-04		Jesuitic Calvinist: A very good example of Marshall's style, particularly his love of open files. At the end, white is completely paralysed.

Jul-23-04		suenteus po 147: Actually, he wishes he were paralyzed. The compulsion to move is both a blessing and a curse. Very instructive zugzwang ending.

Oct-05-04		chesscookie: beautiful ending

Oct-09-04		aw1988: This is the bloody harsh definition of zugzwang... poor Bernstein!
