Sep-19-06		Tomlinsky: <patzer2: After 18...Bc6!?, White has a strong Knight Fork after 19. Ba4! .> You've lost me. What knight fork and how does white play 19.Ba4?

Sep-19-06		patzer2: Oops! I meant 19. Ba5! allows the knight fork 20. Nc7+ (forks King and Rook) winning the exchange. Instead of 18...Bc6!?, Black might have tried 18...a5 when White maintains the advantage with 19. Nxe7 Qxe7 20. Nxa5 .

Sep-19-06		patzer2: Instead of accepting a draw by reptition with 36. Rg4 Nf6 37. Rg5 Ne8, White gives back the exchange for the win of a pawn and the initiative with positional sacrifice 36. Rxh4!
