Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-14-03   Shadout Mapes: I was very surprised with 17.Qxc6. It's a humorous combination, Pillsbury gets no material, but doubles two of his opponent's pawns heading into the endgame. The endgame play is very aggressive.

  aragorn69: What exactly happens on 17.-Qxb2, one might ask ?
18.Qxb7 Qxc2 19.Rac1 wins at least a pawn (because Rfb8 is a blunder : Qxb8+).
Dec-15-03   mack: what a dull game, rook and pawns by move 19...
Dec-15-03   Kenkaku: <mack> Pillsbury wasn't the kind of player to dawdle when he sensed the win.
