Mar-23-04		Egghead: Who wrote these annotations? 12. ... Bxe2 is indeed a mistake, as 13.Qxd4 wins a piece (13. ... Qxd4 Ne6+). But 12. ... e5 would have held.

Oct-10-04		Spassky69: Shouldn't this opening be named Bloodgood's Openings? I mean not only does it sound cool, but he used it the most and won although it was against inmates most of the time.

Oct-10-04		jesterco12: I've always felt that the Grob seems like a try for an opening trap. It's like playing e4 Bc4 Qf3 to try to do the scholars mate or something. It just seems like a cheap opening.

Apr-15-05		Bacchus: I would argue that the Grob - "Bloodgood opening" is a tactical move and if it succeeds it is certainliy not cheap, but rather inventive.

Jul-03-06		beatles fan: pretty weak annotations, but was a real slaughtering.

Jul-18-07		Guguni: What if the black play 12...N:e2 instead of taking with the bishop?
