Jan-20-04		InspiredByMorphy: 24. Qxf6! Nice move by Jennifer. from here on out the board is hers.

Jan-20-04		SicilianDragon: 13. g4 is probably an inaccuracy and Black should have instead played 13...b5(!) when Black will play Nc4 followed by bxc4 (instead of Rxc4) to attack the White king down the b-file. Also, can someone explain to me what's wrong with 16...dxe5? It seems to me that after 16...dxe5 White is pretty much down a pawn for very little.

Jan-20-04		Bitzovich: 16... dxe5 17. g5 N moves 18. Qxd7 seems to net a piece, no?

Jan-21-04		SicilianDragon: Well 16...Ne8 is clearly bad, so what about 16...Nxg4 with the idea of 17. fxg4 Bxe5 or Bxg4. While White is definitely better, it is certainly a better try than what happened in the game. In addition, does White have anything better after my suggestion of 13...b5?

Jan-22-04		DWINS: SicilianDragon, 16...Nxg4 is just as bad as Ne8. The continuation would be exactly the same as the game continuation except that on move 19 Jennifer should have played Nxf6+ because after 19...exf6 20.Qd5+ picks up the rook on c4. 13...b5 looks reasonable to me.

Jan-22-04		chainedheart2003: 5...g6 This is the Sicilian Defence Dragon Variation, right?

Jan-22-04		chainedheart2003: 6. Bc1-e3 This is the point where we call the position the Yugoslav Attack Variation?

Jan-22-04		SicilianDragon: It is a Dragon after 5...g6. With regards to the Yugoslav, by ECO code the Yugoslav occupies codes B75-B79 and it is classified as that after 6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3 which is B75. 7. Be2 would be a classical dragon.
