Nov-24-03		Eggman: White's underpromotion was as unnecessary as Black's decision to play out to mate.

Mar-30-04		Eatmysacs: 18. fxe8=N+ wasn't unnecessary. I am glad black promoted to knight in this situation rather than promote to queen (which would have given the same mate). It's the subtle things that make a game fun.

Sep-15-06		johnnyfroaction: the knight mate is faster, 18. fxe8=Q Be6 it would take another couple of moves. a small detail, but nice nonetheless.

Dec-20-08		WhiteRook48: PxQ=N+ amazing, gaining a Knight and Queen and losing one pawn in ONE MOVE! White
