Nov-17-04		Reisswolf: What a beautiful little tactical sequence to win a piece! I could not help but smile when I played through this game.

Dec-29-04		chesscookie: This is a pretty game indeed. I really think MSK was the tal of his time.

Feb-07-06		Richard Taylor: Great game!

Aug-19-06		notyetagm: What an incredible sequence of piece play by Sultan Khan beginning on move 14. 19 e6xf6! is a great example of the <RELOADER> theme, that one defender (Black g7-pawn) cannot keep out two attackers (White e6-rook and g5-queen). White will recapture on f6 (<RELOAD>) with his queen if his f6-rook is captured by the Black g7-pawn. That is, 19 ... gxf6?? 20 xf6+ g8 21 h6+ and Black must give up his queen to escape the <Blackburne's Other Mate> mating pattern. Yet another example of a <RELOADING> square, here the f6-square, being lined up with the king (Black h8-king).

Aug-19-06		vizir: exellent mat attacking

Aug-20-06		Chess Lou Zer: Good puzzle after 15...Bg4.

Oct-17-06		ismet: move 19 Resign for Black .

Apr-07-09		Tabanus: The black player here is Olaf M. Olsen, Norwegian Champion 1930. He later changed his name to Olaf Barda.
