May-26-06		jamesmaskell: Tal demolishes the Kingside. Well worth a look at. I loved the use of the knight at the later stages to remove the pawn defence. Very good stuff!

May-26-06		jackmandoo: Thats one thing I like about the Dutch, even if you have both castled Kingside the guy who played the dutch can launch a kingside attack. With his king on that side! Isnt that Amazing?! Howdy Doody with my Grape Nuts Liz, when your done with the milk please put it back in the fridge. I know a lot of Locksmiths so dont worry about the key, just make sure you have your sunglasses and dont bring Steve. (Im also a rapper)

Apr-15-10		whiteshark: So this is Balin, the Dwarf Leader?
