| EmperorAtahualpa: Brilliant game!!
Timman's attack is based on some moves he studied with Judit Polgar recently. Also see Judit Polgar vs Anand, 1999. |

| Dim Weasel: You know there must be something special going on whenever a triple passed pawn emerges on the board. Have to check out the analysis. |

| kevin86: Withthe attack and scattered black king and queen,I didn't even notice the tripled pawns. They had a big purpose however-to enable two wide open files for white. A nice neat trap follows:22... xa2 23  b6+ exposes a very long attack on the queen from f7.Even without that The game is hopeless for black,who struck his colors. |

| dakgootje: Well as mentioned in the article, if i remember correctly, the writer thought Timman had studied it quite deeply and thus might have had some trick or something. I think he used it as a kind of shock-opening which could, according to deeper analysis and computers, might turn out to be winning for black, but that it would be rather hard to find all the correct moves over the board, knowing Timman must have had a good idea of the opening. |

| Theologue: Judit played this against Kasimdzhanov in the World Chess Championship last year. Did Keres invent it? It seems so devastating I wonder why people don't play it all the time when white.

| aazqua: Ouch. Talk about getting wiped all across the board. How can you play a line like this against a guy like Tinman? It's like asking for a swirlie. |
