Oct-08-03		drukenknight: another carokann with the Sultan. It looks like both players get a little confused in the middle game, see where you think Tartakover when wrong.

Oct-08-03		drukenknight: the f3 variation has a name according to Tark. I have no idea where/what the N sack is at the beginning.

Oct-09-03		Wild Bard: Taking the knight allows Qh4+, retrieving the piece, so it wasn't a sac. This is the Fantasy variation (3 f3)

Oct-09-03		drukenknight: looking at this again: 27 Rg5 looks more straightforward; Q attacks B, R attacks B. Tartakover doesnt have a name for the 3 f3 var. But after 2 Nc3 pxp 3 f3 is it called Milner-Barry gambit.
