Feb-05-03  morphynoman2: Very nice! A lesson in developemment.
Feb-06-03  drukenknight: Enklarr isn't that that cult of consciousness from the far east?
Feb-06-03  drukenknight: how about 22 00?
Feb-07-03  Cyphelium: On 22. 0-0, black can play 22.- Ne5 and there is no way for white to stop this knight intruding on f3 or d3. That's why white played 22. Bc3 instead, I think.

  patzer2: <sloukakos/Honza cervenka> After 30. Qxd3, 30...Qxd3 is an alternative win for black, in addition to the pretty line of Honza Cervenka's above. After 30. Qxd3 Qxd3 31. Rxd3 exd3, black is up a bishop and rook to a rook and should win easily. Perhaps Honza's line, knocking all of white's pieces out of play and leaving black up a solid bishop, makes the win a bit easier.

  unclewalter: the queen sac is nice and pretty, but doesnt just about anything win here? what's wrong with 29. ...Rxb2? or even QxQ first?
Aug-20-03  Alchemist: Analysis by Crafty 19.3 shows black up by 19.18 pts on the best line.

Crafty (Qxd3 exd3 3. bxc3 Rb1+ 4. Rd1 Bxc3+ 5. Kf1 Rxd1+ 6. Kg2 Rxh1 7. Kxh1 d2 8. Kg2 d1=Q 9. Kg3 Be5+ 10. Kg2 Qxg4+ 11. Kf1 Qd1+ 12. Kg2 Qxh5 13. a4)

Qxd3 seems interesting but doesn't have a fighting chance.

Aug-20-03  NiceMove: 8. Bg5 doesn't accomplish much, 8 ... h6 gives black a tempo, and has the effect of taking the bite out of the h4, h5. Which costs ends up costing white too much time, and leaves the king in the center where it is about to die.

Aug-16-05  ameekmalhotra345: can anyone tell me what happens if
30.b:c3 ?

Aug-16-05  sneaky pete: <ameekmalhotra345> 30.bxc3 Rb1+ 31.Rd1 Bxc3#
Aug-16-05  sneaky pete: White should have played Bf5+ on move 18 or 19.
