Nov-19-05		Honza Cervenka: Wow! What a massacre!:-D

Nov-19-05		KingG: Great game!

Nov-19-05		Saruman: After 33.-Qc5 white comes up with a nasty suprise called d4 =)

Nov-19-05		IMlday: The game certainly influenced me!

Nov-20-05		avidfan: click for larger view The Trojan horse sacrifice 18.Ne3-d5!! was a trap which Black wrongly accepted as 19.e6 discovers an attack on the black queen while also hitting f7. This is a striking example of action at the centre which neutralizes wing action (pawn storm). 22.Qxe5+! was another move which induced 23.Qe8+ Nf8 . This knight had to be defended to the end. [22...Nxe5 23.Bxe5+ Bf6 24.Bxf6+ Qxf6 25.Re8+ Rxe8 26.fxe8=Q+ still mates.] 27...Bf6-g7 was one chance to free the king from the corner though still losing. Moves 32 and 33 simply serve to banish the queen from defence of the knight along the diagonal c5-f8 since 34.d4 deflects the queen!

Nov-20-05		who: I don't know if it's technically a trojan horse as white can get back the piece right away with 20.exd7.

Aug-31-06		sitzkrieg: Very nice game. Thanks for submitting HC

Oct-30-08		newzild: A great game - and also highly thematic, as the Nxd5 sac is standard in this line (I play the KIA quite a lot).

Oct-26-09		birthtimes: Beautiful example by White of what Nimzowitsch meant by overprotection; here after 13. Bf4, four pieces are overprotecting the key square e5...
