Jul-19-04		fred lennox: I love this game for it's symmetry. Black to his benefit could of continued it one more move with 12...Rc8. Rf6 shows an unjustified kingside attack. 16.g4 has two purposes; to take away the key square f5 and to sacrifice a pawn with 17.f5 to gain the initiative.

Aug-29-04		TheGreatNN: Yet another example of why you shouldn't play openings against people they're named after.

Feb-28-08		wolfmaster: Socii cum Alexandro post ludum non delectaverunt.

Dec-17-11		Penguincw: Wow. Allies use the Petrov defense against the creator himself.
