Nov-23-09		josejoasm: Why Riviere resigns so early?

Nov-23-09		sneaky pete: <josejoasm> He didn't. Sergeant writes: "The game is not recorded further. White won, though Black appears to have faint chances of a draw in the present position."

Nov-23-09		sneaky pete: Position after 19... Nxd2 click for larger view 20.Qxd2 .. is given by Sergeant without comment. After 20.Bxc5 .. black might have resigned immediately.

Nov-23-09		AnalyzeThis: De Riviere played the opening quite well, but started to go astry with 15...Qb6? Somebody like Lasker would have chopped the queens off with 15...Qxd1.
