 |
| Mar-24-04 | | drukenknight: what is wrong w/ 26...Qxg3? |
 |
| Mar-24-04 | | TrueFiendish: 26...Qxg3 27.Rd1 |
 |
| May-25-04 | | tacticsjokerxxx: 3.Nd2... smart. |

 | | refutor: any ideas why the "modern" mainline involves 7. ... Nf6 and the "classical" mainline with 7. ...Nd7 isn't played as much anymore? |
 |
| Jun-23-04 | | arifattar: Funny game, what with black wanting to exchange Qs and white refusing time and again. |
 |
| May-07-05 | | sfm: Where's blacks first mistake? Surely 11.-,Qxd1+ 12.Kxd1, Sxh7 seems OK, and at least a lot better than the game :-) Black can follow up with -,e6, -,0-0-0 and should be fine? OK, there are some problems with white at some time playing Sh5, but there are always some problems... |

| Apr-07-06 | | AlexandraThess: < seoulmama> What a shame! How you dare to call the best defence miserable! |
 |
| Apr-07-06 | | seoulmama: AlexandraThess, Caro-Kann is just not my cup of tea - so I have the right to be sarcastic. After all, it IS pretty miserable :-) |
 |
| Dec-30-07 | | DanLanglois: 21 Qd3! looks much better than 21 Qf7?
However, Black erred with 23...Nd7? Better is 23...h5! |

 | | Shams: <DanLanglois> what about 23...h5 24. b6+ c8 25. f1 e3 and d1 <?> |
 |
| Jan-05-08 | | DanLanglois: <Shams 'what about 23...h5 24.b6+ Kc8...'> Not 24...Kc8 but 24...Kd7. Then perhaps: 25 Nf1 Nd5 26 Ne3 Qb4 and Black is threatening ...Qxb2 and ...Qf6. To consolidate, I think that Black might just sack out his knight (though Black gets a third pawn): 27 Ba7 Qxb2 28 Rd1 Qf6 29 Qxf6 exf6 30 f4 Bd6 31 cxd5 exd5. |
 |
| Jan-17-09 | | Phantom.Nightmare: 13.e6! is well played. |
 |
| Aug-06-10 | | asiduodiego: Nice game by Alexandra. I guess Yuanyuan after the game should have though: "Damn, I didn't want to exchange queens at first, and after that, I spent the rest of the game trying to do so". Makes a lot of sense 11. ..., Qxd1+, and then probably a drawish game ensues, but white doesn't have a way to exploit the weak light squares. 26. f3! Nice conception: deflecting. |
