Nov-01-04		themindset: poor shirov! how embarrassing to lose against a Qd8 scandininavian, especially when black is rated 200 points less. too fancy for his pantsies.

Apr-02-13		howlwolf: Somehow I always feel that people that play the scandanavian don't really understand chess; and it pisses me off if they then beat me with it. Shirov too, I imagine.

Apr-02-13		Gilmoy: <howlwolf: Somehow I always feel that people that play the scandanavian don't really understand chess> Quite right! You'd never see Gerard Welling play something that wacky!! And if <3..Qd8> slow-boils, then <21..Kf8> fumes. A mere win does not suffice; White must win <brilliantly>. This being Shirov, he burns board down: <22.dxc5> invites the Q trade to set up <26.Nxf5>! (Not entirely joking: the loss of one R means Black loses both center files.) Whoopsie -- f4 hangs because somebody's combo blocked g2. c3 a small problem, until it's a big one. Crestfallen.
