Jan-06-06		veigaman: great game

Jan-06-06		notsodeepthought: I like R:f6 - and Harikrishna liked it so much, he played it twice! Very nice combo, could make for an early-to-midweek puzzle.

Jan-06-06		CapablancaFan: Shows the power of the double rook sacrafice and just how dangerous it can be. Notice those rook sacrafices on f6 without a moments hesitation!

Jan-06-06		veigaman: Great game, i´m not an expert but i think this game can be one of the best in 2005!. G4! great move, great calculation!

Jan-06-06		russep: This was a great game

Jan-08-06		blingice: Is it a Zugzwang or would it be a Zugzwang after 42.e5?

Jan-08-06		notsodeepthought: No Zugzwang here - white's next move will be Q:h4+ and to avoid mate (e.g. with 41 ... Rg7) black has to give up so much material that he's finished.

Jan-08-06		blingice: It'd be mate in one with both moves... w/ e5, any move by black is white's mate. If white cuts the p with the bishop, white mates.

Jan-09-06		The17thPawn: Is 35...fxe5 better as it seems to avoid the demise black suffered in the actual game?

Jan-09-06		sharkbenjamin: GM Pentala Harikrishna is one great attacker. He could easily be Number one some day. What an attack. Wow!

Jan-09-06		Dres1: fxe5 is bad because after all the rooks are traded, g5 falls

Jan-26-06		The17thPawn: <Dres> yes g5 does fall but after Qe7 how does white convert. He is still down a piece after all. Any sample lines would be much appreciated.
