Mar-03-04		731: Interesting opening and excellent game! The Chinese School of Chess versus the Soviet School of Chess, one could say.

Mar-03-04		731: Maybe Shirov should give up classical chess and try XiangQi instead, more suited to his style :) http://www.chessvariants.com/xiangq...

Mar-09-04		Checkmate123: Very nicely done by Xu Jun. Way to Go.

Mar-09-04		marcus13: 37. ... Nf8 seems to be a big blunder before time control. I think Black was able to save the half point before this move.

Mar-12-04		731: Haha yeah Nf8 was a funny move, I don't know if this is draw or not however...

Oct-27-08		Richard Taylor: This game is in the book "The Chinese School of Chess" - here Shirov weakens his pawns too much I think.
