May-10-05		Whitehat1963: Player of the Day looks like he's in deep trouble early on but comes back powerfully. Where did the tide turn?

May-10-05		azaris: There's nothing wrong with 12.Qxe4 I think. The white queen's excursion was just silly and the taking on b7 was suicidal.

May-10-05		Whitehat1963: <azaris> I assume you mean 12. Qxd4. I agree. I don't see the point of sacrificing the knight on c3. 12. Ne2 isn't as good, but I think even that is better than 12. Qe2. Does anyone understand the point of that move? And yes, you're also right about 15. Qxb7. That was bordering on moronic. Greed killed white. I wonder how a computer would have evaluated the position after 11...exd4.

Sep-06-06		reynolds: 12. ..Ne5 looks really strong though.
