Nov-22-04  Knight13: Interesting game. Unusual opening.
Sep-02-09  YoungEd: Black seems pretty bottled up by move 34. Was there anything better than 34. ...f6?
Mar-24-10  birthtimes: Actually, 35...Nf7 would have been better than 35...Kd7, but Basman could have helped himself greatly by trading rooks on move 25, and by moving his h-pawn to h4 on move 26. At that point, it would have been an even game.

<The Basman game started 1.e4 g5 2.d4 h6 and after the game I went out for a celebratory dinner. When I returned a couple of hours later, I found Basman still sitting at the board analysing the game.

'What are you doing, Mike?'

'Trying to work out where I went wrong...'>
