Apr-19-06		Raskolnikov: A beautiful double-rook sacrifice on e7.

Apr-19-06		offramp: You would not guess the ratings of the players from the opening.

Apr-19-06		hitman84: <offramp>What do you mean?

Apr-19-06		offramp: Moves like 5.h3, and black's pretty poor game all round, make the game look like an everyday club game, not a game between players who are both over 2400.

Apr-19-06		hitman84: <offramp>5.h3 was a prophylaxy stopping Ng4 white's idea is to push e5 for Nf6 so h3 stops Ng4. I was there watching this game and Himanshu had already made his IM norm(final) and was looking rusty.. I agree he totally mishandled the opening. A brilliant game by chanda!

Apr-19-06		offramp: Yes; a very good game. It reminds me of Spassky vs Weiss, 1966.
