  Marmot PFL: This almost looked like a helpmate, the way white broke open the center and left his king on e1.

Indeed.

Jan-12-11  Robeson: 10 dxc6 Nxd3+? 11 Ke2 is good for White but 10...bxc6! favors Black, who also has ...Ba6 coming.
Jan-12-11  Robeson: 12 O-O f4!? looks like it offers Black good attacking chances.
Jan-12-11  Robeson: 13 O-O should be fine for White.
