Jul-06-05		Milo: Good find MUG. Of course, white should try 13.Bxe5, I imagine.

Jul-06-05		THE pawn: 14.Qg7# for white.

Jul-06-05		psmith: <THE pawn> do you mean 15. Qg7#? But the pawn on e5 is in the way.

Jul-07-05		THE pawn: Woups, I got confused with another game.

Jun-29-06		McCool: In this game, however, the opponents were probably not playing seriously but amusing themselves and their honourable spectators. It was the last round of the amateur tournament in the international Chigorin Memorial congress, and this draw assured Rotlewi of second place behind Alekhine, while Eliashov at best would take undivided fourth place instead of sharing 4th-6th. The playing strength of both Rotlewi and his opponent was not normally to be laughed at, and in a serious encounter White would hardly have missed the interediate 13 xe5! xe4 14 xg7 xg2 15 xf8, when Black has no timefor the symmertrical 15...xf1 on account of mate.
