May-01-06		An Englishman: Good Evening: "Never force your opponent to play a good move." When chess players asked me for advice, that's what I said most of the time. The players who remained weaker than me never got that. The ones who became stronger than me always got that. In simple English, 16...f6 practically forces Diemer to win this one.

Nov-16-06		sneaky pete: 16... Nd7 and if 17.Nxd7 Qxd7 18.Qxe4 Rae8 is of course better, but in the game continuation it is far from clear who is better if black plays 19... Re8 (19.Qb3 Qe6), making room for his king. On the other hand, this game would never have been been published if Zehnle had played one of those moves. Diemer, like Eichborn, Prince Dadian and Janny, only saved his brilliancies.
