| notyetagm: The Black side of the Sicilian can be such junk. Here a GM totally loses control of the position and goes down in flames in just 10 moves. You would never see Black lose a Ruy Lopez so quickly. |

| THE pawn: He is not a GM, if my memory's good. But it's still a slauther all the same. ouch this is ugly...after e6, Nxe6 Qe8 or Qe7 he eventually loses the queen with a discovered on Nc7+ or Nd8+ or Nxf8+ |

| McCool: Black played some pretty disgusting moves here. |

| soberknight: I don't know if Afek is a GM, but he is most famous in the chess world as a composer of endgame studies. |

| catfriend: Afek is a master, and far from being a top Israeli player. Also, he's way over 50, IIRC. |

| Nikita Smirnov: Well the continuation is:
10...e6 (10...Kg6 11.Be2 with mate on h7) 11.Ne6 and the continuation is Ng5 or Nf4. |

| Nikita Smirnov: This game should be game of the day!It is a brilliant attack play by Smirin! |

| James Bowman: Perhaps too many endgame compositions and not enough opening theory ;o] |

| swarmoflocusts: This is one of Smirin's notable games? The entire game is just his opponent playing a few inaccurate moves (I count two), a major blunder, and a few minor blunders (two) -- in just nine moves. Impressive, but a very far cry from good chess. <The Black side of the Sicilian can be such junk.> This is a little bit unfair. Afek completely misplayed this game. He played the first two moves correctly, then started messing around, then started blundering. I don't think you can pin this one on the Sicilian. |
