Mar-30-08		juandadamo: Why black doesn't take 9 ... Nxe4? I can't figure it out. thanks for your help!

May-18-08		Landman: I suspect the move order was actually 8...b5 9.Nd5 Be7

Apr-18-09		grasser: Actually 9...Nxd5 would win a piece for Black, so the notation must be wrong.

Aug-16-11		Honza Cervenka: <grasser: Actually 9...Nxd5 would win a piece for Black, so the notation must be wrong.> Well, in fact 9...Nxd5 wins only a Pawn after 10.exd5 Bxg5 11.dxc6 bxc6 but I agree with Landman that the order of moves in the game was probably different.
