Oct-21-02		bishop: Black did not accomplish much by exchanging Bishop for Knight on the sixteenth move. Black's 25th move was possibly not best and after 26.f4 maybe he should have just retreated to c6 once again. After 26...Nd7, White by counter attacking with 27.e5! instead of defending the c-pawn grabbed the advantage. 28...Nc5 was the final error.

Oct-23-02		drukenknight: why not 26...e6 followed by Rxc2 I sort of like his 25th move because it brings an attacker closer to the K. On his 22/23rd moves, black allows exchanges. Why? he is down in material. White is only too happy to exchange, he seems to follow the theory.
