  TheAlchemist: Finally, it's in the database. One of the best attacking games ever, in my opinion.
Feb-12-06   TheKid: Amazing game! White keeps giving away pawns to get his knights in the game.
Apr-07-06   THE pawn: Kalegin: Material?? What the hell is that?

  Gregor Samsa Mendel: Black's f8 bishop never makes a move; it's captured on move 23. The b8 knight sits still until move 25 and the the a8 rook remains motionless until move 26. The h8 rook stays rooted to its original square for the entire game. Black must have been thinking: "Development? What the hell is that?"

  ToTheDeath: This almost looks like a composition rather than a real OTB combination. Nice going!

  Gilmoy: <Manic: 20 Re6> Probably 21 Nxc6 Nxc6 22 Qxd5+ Kc7 23 Na6+ Kb7 24 Qb5+ Kc8 25 Rxc6+ and White mates. Particularly pretty is 25 .. Kd8 26 Rd1+ Qd7 27 Rc8+ (K,R)xc8 28 Qxd7#.
Nov-29-08   Counterpoint: I'd question the soundness of some of those sacrifices.
Feb-23-09   WhiteRook48: awesome sacrificial game
Mar-18-09   WhiteRook48: he ends up only one knight down?
