Jul-01-08		Kasputin: Pretty wild game. A quick count and the black b8 knight moved something like 14 times here - i.e., about 25% of the game moves for black from that knight alone. I will have to look at this again when I am less tired.

Jan-23-10		WhiteRook48: 53 Rd6 was dumb, but white would lose anyway

Feb-07-11		rodchuck: <WhiteRook48>: I suspect 53 Rd6 was a deliberately amusing alternative to resigning. The final position is fun to look at!

Dec-13-12		Conrad93: No comments on the innovative rook sacrifice? It actually benefits black.
