Feb-27-08		Knight13: This is messed up. Mackenzie came up with <9...h5> I bet 99.9% of chess players wouldn't have played that move in that position.

Feb-27-08		An Englishman: Good Evening: <Knight13>, 4.0-0 is a known blunder in the Italian Game that permits precisely this sort of attack, and 9...h5 isn't that much of a surprise. What is a surprise is that MacKenzie incorporates the Rook sacrifice of the Wilkes-Barre Variation. George was one of the most reckless players in history and wouldn't hesitate to play moves that would have made Nezhmetdinov or Tal blanche.

Feb-27-08		Knight13: <An Englishman: Good Evening: <Knight13>, 4.0-0 is a known blunder in the Italian Game that permits precisely this sort of attack> Are you serious? You know how many people castles like that?

Feb-28-08		An Englishman: Good Evening: <Knight13>, I am absolutely serious. You can see for yourself by using the Opening Explorer. You will find a great deal of variations where Black wins more often then White.
