Dec-03-04		Knight13: Staunton wanted a draw in the endgame play but Saint Amant refused it till it really became a drawn game. 3... exd4 is better. 4. Qxd4 Nc6 and Black just wasted one move by moving the queen. 3... Qe7?! blocks the dark bishop. Maybe he saw the move 3... Nc3 4. d5 so he maked that move (3... Qe7?!). Good game always!
