Aug-30-07		Capablanca44: Simutowe's 46th move of e5+ is brilliant!!! First of all, it is a double attack against the King and the d4 Pawn. If white plays dxe5, then black will go with his Queen to g4+. White's king is then forced to go to e3, whereupon the black Queen captures g3+, and then white immediately loses his Queen. If white, instead, decides to move his King to g5 on his 47th move, black will play Qg4++. So black's 46th move was decisive. I think that we will be hearing a lot more about Simutowe in the future.
