Jan-28-05		InspiredByMorphy: 9.Nxg5! leaves black scrambling to recover. 13. ...Qg6 would have continued the game but black would still be down two pawns with an exposed king. Another great game by Greco.

Aug-27-05		chesskoff: <<InspiredByMorphy: 13. ...Qg6 would have continued the game...> 13. ...Qg6 would result in the immediate 14. Qf6#; 13. ...Kxg8 would be the best continuation. The most white could do at that point is to trap the rook with 14. Bf6 and the material would be about equal.

Aug-27-05		sneaky pete: <chesskoff> Maybe after 13... Qg6 14.Qf6# black might still try 14... Qxf6.

Aug-28-05		chesskoff: <sneaky pete> Can't say that saw that coming. Maybe thats why they call you Sneaky Pete...

Sep-27-07		wolfmaster: It all began with 8...g5?.

Aug-06-08		RoyalFlush: Can't black play 10.. Kd7 ?
