Feb-02-08   wouldpusher: Steinitz played well in the opening, until he blundered with 17. ... Qxe7??. You gotta love the puzzle at White's 18th move.

  vonKrolock: <9.Bg5> Some interesting lines if black takes now in 'f2' - for instance, 9...Nxf2 10.Qh5 (or 10.Bxd8 Nxd1 11.Bh4 Nxb2! etc) 10...Nxh1! 11.Bxd8 fxe4 etc

<17...Qxe7> Yes, black had 17...Re8! etc and the perspective of playing with BBs pair and a P plus the unsafe white K's position
