Jan-15-06		blingice: White came back a long way. London lost this one pretty embarrassingly (lol). I love the pawns on the right side after 27. g4.

Jul-29-06		Dr. Funkenstein: Poor decision by the Black team to supsend play in their area of strength, the queenside. The extra bishop looks like a superfluous pawn for most of the ending
