Jan-08-02		bishop: Well played by Pollock,3..Nxe4 probably refutes the Vienna game.Anyway after 4.Nxe4 d5 black is already equal.

Jan-08-02		Sneaky: The real question is whether 4. Qh5 Nd6 can give White enough iniative for the pawn. I'm not up on the theory, but it sure looks fun...

Aug-23-02		ksadler: I know I'm abot a month late, but it probably did refute it...until the famouse Dracula-Frankenstein game played here: Carsten Hansen vs Nunn, 1974

Aug-23-02		refutor: ksadler...would you rather be dracula or frankenstein here? ;)

Aug-17-07		Karpova: Wilhelm Steinitz: <�A charming termination to a beautifully played game.�> International Chess Magazine, February 1890, page 57. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

Feb-12-12		Phony Benoni: After <15.Nc3>: click for larger view <15...Bxb3> is not just the pretty way to play--it avoids a nasty trap: 15...Qxb3?? 16.Nc6+! Kc8 17.Ra8+ Kd7 18.Rxd8+ Kxc6 19.Qe4+ and 20.Qxc2.

Jan-15-15		FSR: Will.I.Am. (It really should be all lower-case, but the Pun Submission Page wouldn't take it that way.)

Oct-16-15		heuristic: 3...Nxe4 is uncommon 4.Nxe4 is rare 5.Qh5 is rare 6...Be6 is only game 10.Re1!? 10.Neg5 0-0-0 11.Nxe6 Qxe6 12.Re1 11.b3!? 11.Qe3 Qa4 12.Qc3 Nxa2 13.Rxa2 Qxa2 14.Neg5 12...Nxc2! 14.Ne5!? 14.Kxc2 Qd3+ 15.Kb2 Qxb3+ 16.Ka1 Kxa7 17.Qe3+ 14...Qb5! 15.Nc3!? 15.Qg5 Kxa7 16.Qxd8 Bxb3 17.Bb2 18.Qxe5!? 18.Rxe5 Nd3+ 19.Kb1 Nxf4 20.Rea5
