Dec-16-04		akiba82: An impressive game by Boden. This is the way to promote a pawn. You talk about your kingside majorities!

Dec-16-04		akiba82: The position before 31.Qh5+ would make for a nice puzzle of the day.

Apr-05-07		twin phoenix: i concur with akiba. a beautiful game! people just don't play like this anymore. i love the days of the coffee house attack like crazy style. just wish i could play like that... (computers have alas made modern players much more conservative, and probably better...)

May-01-07		wolfmaster: I think that the position after 30...Rxf6 would make a good Thursday puzzle.
