  beenthere240: What about 26. Nxa6? Or does that fail to 26...Nd4?

  percyblakeney: Yes, the best white could have tried instead was probably 26.Rxc6 bxc6 27.Nxa6 Ra7 28.b4 Rxa6 29.bxa5 Rxa5 but it doesn't look very promising...

  beenthere240: It's funny, white was evidently worried about committing her queen to capturing the c pawn on move 15, but then gets her knight hung up.
Oct-29-04   Apocalypse79: 19. Nxc7 is a blunder..

  aazqua: Isn't 24 n*b even more convincing? I don't see any way to exploit the back rank and you still get the free knight in addition to picking up the minors for the rook.
Jan-03-09   thebribri8: Couldn't white survive with 26. Rxc6?
Jan-03-09   thebribri8: No, because after 26...Re5, the knight will be trapped again.
Jan-04-09   Eduardo Leon: Maybe 20. Bc4 would have been a little better?
