May-09-02		Sneaky: It may seem like Black's 7...Qf6 move gets him into trouble, but that's the line. See Van Wely vs Jeroen Piket, 2001

Mar-30-09		Dredge Rivers: <Sneaky> <but that's the line.> Well, then, the line sucks!

Feb-26-11		dalwand: In his book "Het smalle pad" Timman shows the end position in a diagram and says "the positioning of the black pieces looks very sad." Indeed, the final position is quite funny.
