Dec-28-03		pikoro: This is some error, right? 36. Rxe5 leads to inevitable mate...Rd1++

Dec-28-03		fatbaldguy: <pikoro>, after 36 ... Rd1+ 37 Re1+ (discovered check), there is no mate, and black can safely resign (and did).

Dec-28-03		BiLL RobeRTiE: can someone explain anand's Bb5-d3 maneuver? It seems that Rogers stands better after 4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. Bd3 than after 4. Bd3.

Dec-29-03		aboynamedgeorge: After 4. Bd3, black can play Ba6 trading off the bishops favourably. After 4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. Bd3, black no longer has this option (immediately - maybe in the future he can try it again, but it will take much more time to prepare).

Jun-14-06		mjk: <BiLL RobeRTiE> After 4.b5+ c6 5.d3 the c6 square is occupied by a pawn and not immediately available to Black's queen Knight.

Jun-02-13		My Face: Black planned at fianchetto his bishop by 3...b6 Bb5+ a)4...c6 5.Bd3 and the c6 square is occupied by a pawn, making 3...b6 look weakening b)4...Bd7 5.Bd3 and black's plan of fianchettoing his bishop is destroyed and the light squares are weakened c)4...Nd7 would make the pin on the knight a bit problematic
