May-28-06		gulliver: Bravo Sutovsky ! Thank you for giving me such an enjoyment

May-28-06		Open Defence: nice one.. White does not have enough pieces to support the though the Blac s pawn cover is shattered.... nice....

May-30-06		aragorn69: 14.-Nxd5!! is certainly THE move of the 6th round.

Jun-06-06		neosystems: One of my favorite Olympiad games. :) Material sacrifices, king migrations, etc. And yes, I agree about Nxd5!!. I was wondering what white was going for with Nxg5. The kingside doesn't really open up and the black knight is there to prevent Qh5. I guess it does keep the knight pinned to the queen, but it just seemed pretty odd...

Jun-21-09		hedgeh0g: Surely sacking the Queen for 2 minor pieces is unsound here, but Sutovsky remarkably makes it work...

Apr-13-13		RookFile: Brilliant play by black.
