Jan-12-05		sergeidave: Interesting!! The King himself playing important rolls on the killing of the enemy!! Nice game!

Jan-12-05		kostich in time: Thjis ,is, indeed, a very interesting and lively game. It is an interesting example of an active king in a simplified position creating a mating net. I can think of few similar examples. Interestingly, both Pirc and Tylor were originally trained as lawyers. Tylor (who was legally blind) was a law tutor at Oxford.

Jan-12-05		Shah Mat: great game. i wonder just how unsound Bird's is with proper defense.

Aug-16-05		erimiro1: <chessgames.com>As far as I know, it's not Bird's opening (that continues 1. - d5) but an interesting variation called (I hope I spell it right) The From gambit.

Aug-16-05		chessgames.com: All From's Gambits are found in A02.

Dec-19-06		think: Question: why not 27. Nxf6? Also 29...Kxf6 g5#

Dec-19-06		JohnBoy: <think> - on 27.Nxf6 white loses to 27...Nxf6 28.Kxf6 Rxd6+ 29.any Rxd3. Plus, 27.Kh6 wins.
