| Feb-08-05 | | Backward Development: If i was on the black side, I probably would have been wondering, "hmm...where's that knight going?" then, tada! |

| Aug-14-05 | | sharpnova: is a torre means tower.. by which you really mean rook? |
|
| Aug-15-05 | | SEMENELIN: <sharpnova> korekek!!! |
|
| Aug-15-05 | | IT4LICO: "Torre" is the italian word for "rook"... |

| Aug-15-05 | | Achilles: this was really bad I seen many old games compared to the modern games more accurate precisely!!! |

| Oct-20-05 | | DeepBlade: Well black has many ''holes'' in its pawn structure, and its basic to move the Knight to pawnholes. But it takes a lot of brain to figure out a Knight tour to f5, especially with the beginner rule; don't move the same piece all the time. If you look at the position after the 14th move, Black's position makes me cry, 2 Knights on the rim, a bad Bishop, the Rook on f8 sleeping, and a cornered King. Im not talking about its pawn structure because its a disaster. The center is dominated by White, and Black tries a hopeless attack. Greco finishes with a funny Knight tour, and the Queen has no place to go. |

 | | al wazir: It's hard to believe this wasn't a composed game. As late as move 14 black had winning chances: 14...Ng3! If 15. hxg3 then 15...fxg3, with mate or loss of the  (the *white* !) to follow. |

| | al wazir: To elaborate on my previous comment: After 14...Ng3 15. hxg3 (if 15. Nxf7+ then 15...Kg7, postponing the inevitable) fxg3 16. Qh5 Qxh5 is the only way white can avoid mate. If white moves his rather than taking the  , e.g. 15. Qf3, then 15...Nxf1, and black is an exchange up. |

| Jun-30-06 | | Cyphelium: <al wazir> I think white gets good compensation for the exchange after 14.- g3 15. e1 xf1 16. xh4 gxh4 17.  xf4. |
