  LIFE Master AJ: <Reply to Beenthere240> Black had been busted for a long time ... in a few days this game should be analyzed on my "Game Of The Month" web site.

  LIFE Master AJ: This is a very difficult and exciting game ... it is interesting to try and figure out where Timman went wrong. (I went through this games many, many times ... WITHOUT a computer. Find the ... so-called "losing move" ... ain't so easy.)

I have annotated this game on my web site for the game of the month. (http://www.geocities.com/thegotmman...)

May-08-04  Lawrence: <AJ>, great analysis. Unlike some other analysts A. you start commenting right at the beginning of the game B. you don't pad your analysis with an alternative move and an enormously long game that resulted from it, Gronsky vs Plonsky, Sklonsky, 1923. C. during the analysis you give bits of wisdom, like the one about exchanging pawns not pieces when you're in a bad position.

  LIFE Master AJ: <Reply to Lawrence> Thanks ,,, that is an extremely nice compliment. I really appreciate it. (But that's just a supplemental game ... I am still working on the main game for May.)
