Mar-10-06		thebriarpatch: This is insane... too crazy for me...

Mar-11-06		Rama: Wow. Black goes up a rook but loses to the pawns.

May-31-06		patzer2: White's demolition combination 18. Bxh7+! exchanges a piece for three pawns and an exposed King. I think White is in no danger of losing and has all the winning chances here. Looks sane to me.

May-31-06		borisbadenoff: This game is horrible. There are more missed moves in this game as in whole remaining chessgames-database. White just thought I'm 264 ELO pts.stronger I can play how I want. And was sometimes close to go down or draw if black would have only seen it.

May-31-06		patzer2: <borisbadenoff> <There are more missed moves in this game as in whole remaining chessgames-database.> I thought it was pretty well played for the first 32 moves, but then I suspect Black got into time trouble and overlooked some nice possibilities. The 18. Bxh7+! combination is not a forced win, but it appears to be sound with White guaranteed at least equality. Black's first significant oversight appears to be missing 33...Rxc3! 34. Kxc3 Qxe2 35. Nf6+ Kg7 36. Nh5+ Kg8 37. Nf6+ = with a draw by perpetual. Then White missed a chance to force a perpetual after 38. Nd6 Rb2+ 39. Kd1 Rb1+ 40. Kd2=. Next Black missed a chances to win with 41...Qb8! , 42...Qxa2! . However, other than these few significant oversights, I thought both sides played respectably.

The 18. Bxh7+! combination is not a forced win, but it appears to be sound with White guaranteed at least equality.> Well I clearly exaggerated because black hat some drawing chances against a ~300 ELO-point stronger opponent What I saw early on or thought is that black should have played Ng6 or h6 around move 15 to prevent this torpedo Bxh7. Which allows this huge pawn-lose, something I think is no good to do against a stronger rated opponent And I personally considerd also playing Qxd5 a move sooner or are there some obvious drawbacks I don't see? 24. .. Qd8 to force the queen exchange which should be of more use to black then to white. And the other ones you listed already.
