Mar-24-05		get Reti: This game is wild! I like to play the move 2.Ne2 also, as it readys me for a f4 push in the sicilian. I think it should be played more, because whether Ne2 or Nfe if 2...c5(which is usually played), then you could still play 3. d4 cxd4 Nxd4, leading to a najdorf or something. 4 h4 is a strange move that you dont see too often but now that I think of it its not too bad because it stops white from fianchetoing or develops a rook early. Blacks queen just domiates until move 14. At move 14, neither player has any pieces on the other player's side, except for blacks queen, and the majority of the pawns are gone. I cant believe no one kibitzed to this yet.

Aug-19-12		RMKvdS: Insane! And indeed, one would expect a lot more kibitzing for this game.

Aug-22-12		LIFE Master AJ: This was the GOTD the other day, I would have to say things like, "bizarre," "baroque," ... and even "beautiful." I would even say that White's bailiwick was tactics.
