  PhilFeeley: It always amazes me how an opening can be played a thousand times a year and still there are masters who manage to lose with it.

Why didn' t she move the rook?

May-22-06  alicefujimori: I particularly liked how Kosteniuk played for dark-squared control with 16.Nc3, 18.Ba3 and 19.Bc5.
May-22-06  Raskolnikov: <PhilFeeley> Do you mean something like 23...Re8? Then 24.Qg3 with threats 25.Q:b8 and 25.Q:g7.
May-22-06  EmperorAtahualpa: The game looks fairly balanced to me until Black took that poisoned pawn with 22...Rxe5??.
May-22-06  Marcelo Adaes: If Black dont play 22...Rxe5, there are plenty of good next moves: 23.Bd6, or 23.e6, or 23.f6, or... you name it. The end was near, but black precipitated it.

Oh, how can I put the symbol of a picie (as Raskolnikov did) instead of the letter??? :)

Raskolnikov! I only recognized the name after typing it! Very good nick, the book dont say, but the character should play chess, for sure! ;)

May-24-06  Raskolnikov: <Marcelo Adaes> Thank you! You can put a symbol of a piece using { and } brackets. For example typing { letter for a piece } makes R. "R" for rook, "N" for knight and so on...
May-24-06  Marcelo Adaes: Thanks a lot, Raskolnikov! Testing... K, R, B, N, Q... cool!
Jan-02-07  jperr75108: I think 13... Ne7 is more accurate.
