Jun-03-06   AniamL: Trapped queen in the Smith-Morra gambit! Wonderful miniature!
Mar-26-09   WhiteRook48: what was 9...Qxb5??
Mar-26-09   MaxxLange: 9...Qd8 and how is the Queen trapped?

hoe does this dude, who seems to be about 2000-2200 strength, keep getting games against weak players all these years? Just playing in small time opens?

Mar-26-09   MaxxLange: 9...Qd8 10 Rc1 and Black is in trouble, his error must have been earlier

god bless Bill Wall, his miniatures are really instructive and great fun

Mar-26-09   MaxxLange: 5...Nf6? is wrong
Jun-30-09   kooley782: Wow, Bill Wall was amazing. God bless him. He is a great chess player and a great guy.

  patzer2: If 9...Qd8, then 10. Qc2! Nc6 11. Bxc6 bxc6 12. Qxc6 follows and Black must surrender decisive material.

  patzer2: Looks like 6...Qc7? is busted by 7. Bd5+! For example if 8...Qd8, then 9. Qc2! Na6 10. Bxa6 Qa5+ 11. Qd2 Qxd2+ 12. Bd2 to gives White a near winning advantage.
Sep-16-09   kooley782: I actually saw a trap similar to this that ends the game quicker, but Black avoided that trap and walked right into another trap.
