Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-05-04   Everett: An impressive attack by Speelman.

The finish occurs quicker after:
24...Qf5+ 25.Ke1 Rg1+ 26.Kd2 Qd3#

Sep-23-06   olaf4lena: It's like a nightmare!
Dec-21-06   Fog: Sorry I must have missed something but why cant white play 9.d5 ?
Dec-21-06   Cyphelium: <Fog> Presumably black answers 9.- 0-0-0, which is similar to the game.
Dec-27-06   Fog: ah thanks, I cant believe i missed that, he did it next move :/
