Dec-07-04		IMlday: $1000 Brilliancy prize for this nice attacking game.

Dec-07-04		Lawrence: <Junior 8> suggests that White missed 40.Nxg7 eval +1.97

Dec-07-04		IMlday: Yeah there was big timescramble. 33..Qh4?! seems to let White back into the game. The initial gambit was pretty impressive. The audience got their money's worth! :-)

Dec-08-04		Poisonpawns: It was a great game to see live! Goldin put up a good defense but time scambles are a killer

Dec-08-04		whiskeyrebel: It's encouraging to see such hard fought chess at a high level. This game was more enjoyable for me to watch live than most I've followed this year. I kept bouncing back and forth between the Nakamura endgame and Stripunsky's brave attack. Goldin of course almost managed to pull his chestnuts out of the fire..it was a great game. I expect a Scandanavian defense fad to follow here in the US at the amateur level I play at.

Dec-08-04		InspiredByMorphy: <Lawrence> Good catch. 40.Nxg7!

Dec-30-04		aw1988: The knight sacrifice is sound and leads to equality.

Apr-01-05		trogdor: NO, 40.Nxg7! wins So does 31.hxg4! For Black better was 33..Qh5! and 37...Bb8!

Apr-01-05		aw1988: I believe both Nxg7 and hxg4 lead to equality.

Apr-01-05		aw1988: Actually, Nxg7 wins, but hxg4 is even.
