Jul-27-04		mrvocab: A great example of what can go wrong with the Trompowsky. Black lays a trap starting with 5..Qb6 and 6..axb6. White falls into the trap with 7 Bxb8 followed by Be5 thinking he can keep the knight. The threat after 8..Rxa2! is either 9 Rxa2 c2! and Black queens and wins the knight, or 9 Nxc3 Rxa1+, winning the rook. A great modern miniature.

Dec-25-05		Averageguy: Best was 7.cd when black's inferior pawn structure is compensated for by his control of the half open a-file.
