Mar-09-06		AlexanderMorphy: 30 Nd5 is a horrible blunder which costs yates the game!

Oct-23-07		sfm: <30 Nd5 is a horrible blunder...> The game was over anyway. Black wins easily due to his threats against the White king.

Nov-29-10		An Englishman: Good Evening: The passive Bishop sacrifice initiated with 15...Qd7?!, self-trapping the Be6, was not at all needed. In his The Art of Attack in Chess, Vukovic has rather a spot of fun pointing out the multitude of errors on both sides, and concludes by drolly noting, "This game won the 2nd Brilliancy Prize." Aside from 15...Qd7?!, 17.gxh3? (a6!), 18.Qd2? (Re2!), 18...N6h5? (h5!) and 19.Qf2? (Nxh5!) all come in for criticism from Vukovic, Maroczy and Tartakower. It would be interesting to let Rybka digest the game in its silicon intestines to see if the analysis by those old organic self-programming entities still passes.
