Oct-01-06   poulpe: This game had been awarded third best game of August 2006 on www.e3e5.com site. It's a pity Black didn't go for a win with 29.h3!

  notyetagm: Wow! What an incredible game by Nataf! More tactics in this game than in the entire Kramnik-Leko match combined.

  kellmano: I like the way at move 12, white is obviously not content with how unusual his opening was, so comes up with Nf3-g5-f7
Mar-17-07   Whitehat1963: Too bad this game wasn't decisive, because it is SPECTACULAR. Definitely worthy of a Game of the Day tribute.

And how about the puzzle after 18...Kf8? That's really a beauty, worthy of a Friday or so, isn't it?

Oct-05-07   pawnofdoom: Strange but cool game. After move 10. Bd3 White has developed every piece except for his king rook, while all black has out is his queen and not a single pawn. That's quite a lot lost in exchange for a pawn.
