Jun-15-05  MrMrsKnight: Pretty checkmate. 18...Re8 allowed a fancy end to it. If 19...Bxe8 then Ne6+ picks off the queen with discovered check to spare. I thought it was interesting how the Bishop at b3 ended up controlling the game. It just sort of sat there waiting until it could dominate the diagonal.

Also 4...Qf6 looks premature. Cochrane does a good job of illustrating how a queen out too early can cost a lot of time, and ultimately the game.

  Penguincw: Staunton learns two beginner rules. Castle, and don't bring your queen out too early.
