Jul-03-07		fm avari viraf: A very lively game by Sandor Boros giving a good lesson to Szabo " The Art of Attack". It's very sad to know his untimely demise. May God Bless His Soul Peace In Heaven.

Oct-07-07		Honza Cervenka: <"Ouro Boros"> Oh, did Dave Lister of Red Dwarf play chess? If I remember, Holly played it and not too well...:-D

Oct-07-07		Marmot PFL: I wqs thinking for the last 10 moves he would probably sacrifice that rook soon, so he sacrifices both.

Oct-07-07		playground player: "The Worm Ouroboros, that eateth its own tail..." I don't get the pun.

Oct-07-07		pawnofdoom: Cool how white can play 23. xf5 without worrying about 23. ... gxf5. Normally the g-pawn is pinned to the king when that happens, but this time, I think whtie has h5! which leads to mate. And its also pretty impressive how white sacs two rooks for two pawns and then wins with just a queen and a bishop.

Oct-08-07		kevin86: The white piece3s have a ballet on the white colored squares that has 'em dancin' in the aisles!

Oct-08-07		kevin86: The last FOURTEEN moves by white were to white squares!
