Mar-24-09		Honza Cervenka: Definitely not the best performance by Winawer. 12...Kh8 was completely useless and 13...b6 looks inferior too. In both cases d7-d6 would have been better. After that attack of white flows smootly without any troubles but still black's defense made it a bit too easy for him. At least 18...Rg8 could have prolong resistence here a bit. 19.Nf6! was quite pretty but not very difficult winning shot.

Jul-07-09		WhiteRook48: 14...Ra7 looks horrible 14...Bb7 DUH

Jul-07-09		keypusher: <WhiteRook48> Well, except for dropping the queen pawn. Try spending more than five seconds on your kibitzes; your results may improve.
