Jun-10-04		offramp: Super Miles! Here is a good test for you: Why didn't Miles play 15...Bxg2? Why wait a move?

Jun-10-04		Chessical: Miles had to prevent f4 which allows the White K to escape, hence <15...Bf3!!>. Dizdarevic after <15...Bxg2?> could then have played 16.f4 Qh1+ 17.Kf2 Bxf1 18.Rxf1 Dizdarevic could not take the B as he would be mated: <16.gxf3> Rf6 17.Ne5 Rh6.

Jun-25-04		An Englishman: Good Evening: Shades of Lasker-Bauer! Indeed, I can't believe Dizdarevic had forgotten that one. The double Bishop sacrifice is always a welcome break from the usual tedium.

Jun-25-04		Sylvester: What was the name of the guy who had a really cool collection of Miles's games?

Jun-25-04		mjk: <Chessical> follow-up: f4 vacates f2 so that 15...xg2 16.f4 h3 keeps the in, but allows 17.f2.

Jun-25-04		morphynoman2: Take a look on Lasker-Bauer kibitzing. This is another game for the interesting Double Bishop Sacrifice collection, by AdrianP

Jun-25-04		Ed Caruthers: The AdrianP collection is very cool. Did you see that Miles actually has two double bishop sacrifices in his career: Miles vs Browne, 1982

Jun-25-04		AdrianP: Cheers chaps, this one's gone in the collection.

Jun-25-04		chessamateur: Bishop Sacrifices always nice as usual. I love it.

Jun-25-04		kevin86: Didn't we do this bishop sac schtick last week? lol Black plays miles ahead of his opponent.

Jun-25-04		Zembla: Great play, but Miles still would not have a quick win if Black persisted with best play. I had a tough time against Fritz from the end position.

Jun-25-04		themindset: really, what's crafty say about this final position?

Jun-25-04		crafty: 19. d2 g6+ 20. g2 xg2 21. xg2 f7 (eval -5.07; depth 13 ply; 150M nodes)

Oct-11-07		whiteshark: A fresh look at Lasker's -sacrifies.

Feb-24-09		WhiteRook48: White must have run Miles in this game.
