Nov-07-05		galoa: What an amazing game! Jianchao gave up a queen for a knight twice in one game. Anyone seen that before?

Nov-07-05		JoeyCJK: Yes, on first look, a very crazy game! Queen sacrifices and an underpromotion to a knight! But I am not at all sure everything is sound. This game is just like what Fischer said some time back :" World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) Chess!"

Nov-10-05		Bobak Zahmat: THIS is a real crazy game!!! What tha hell is going on? Is this guy, Zhou Jianchao, really so powerfull? Or was did just a child's play for him?

Apr-11-06		kevin86: A crazy one!!! Black loses his queen very early-but gains a large material advantage. Then he underpromotes to a knight. Finally he corrals a stampeding pawn at the seventh-just before a draw is forced.

Oct-20-06		lordazol4: 109...-ne3 black wins queen

Oct-20-06		aw1988: That is true. Both work though, I think... It's hard to play chess after 100 moves - you miss things.
