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

  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.

  FSR: Even if Black had no pawns in the final position, the ending would be a theoretical win. See M Vachier-Lagrave vs Tomashevsky, 2015 and the comments thereto.
