Aug-09-03		Emil Tyson: Miles 1…a6 against Karpov in Karpov vs Miles, 1980 will be the move for which he is most remembered, but his TN in this game, 18. f4 is a lasting tribute to Tony's creativity in opening play.

Aug-10-03		Ashley: 17...Bc8 was a bold move by black, however he must have been stunned by the reply.

Aug-27-05		Jim Bartle: According to "John Nunn's Best Games" (p. 72), this move was found by Miles and Nunn while preparing for a thematic tournament in Holland in 1986, with the starting point the position after black's 17th move. So Beliavsky unwittingly stuck his head in the lion's mouth. Nunn also notes that 18. f4 was the only novelty ever voted a perfect score as best novelty in the Informant (#42). This would mean through 1994.

Apr-14-08		Jim Bartle: An error in my post above: the starting position for the analysis was after move 10, not move17.

Dec-06-08		SufferingBruin: Game 81 in "The Mammoth book of The World's Greatest Chess Games", FWIW.
