Jul-10-07		Toastman: what a mess.

Jul-10-07		WannaBe: Very nice, black never castled, yet were able to weather the storm and come up pawns ahead!

Jul-10-07		TheBB: I have a hard time believing 4...f5 to be a sound opening move. I play lots of Ruy Lopez as white and rarely fail in getting a good position when black deviates early. According to opening explorer, 6. O-O doesn't fare well. What about 6. e5?

Jul-10-07		brankat: This game defies analysis :-)

Jul-10-07		Ashram64: a win w/ schliemann is awesome, my computer always throw this line to me and i absolutely hate it

Jul-10-07		kevin86: Strange how white's attack appeared to be biting on granite-and later it was BLACK who broke through on the king side. Black's king was caravaned to the queenside to avoid any danger.

Jul-10-07		MikeChesss: Definitely all over the place. Hard for me to follow or process.

Jul-10-07		pawnofdoom: the result of this game was surprising. white seemed to have a winning attack from the beginning, and i have no idea what he did wrong. and by the way, Strautmanis's birthday is tomorrow

Jul-10-07		playground player: And Koltanowski beat Strautmanis... blindfolded.

Jul-10-07		melv: white messed around and lost the initiative. too many pawn moves. never developed his rooks. i mean what is the point in advancing the kingside pawns when there is no castled king there to attack
