Nov-10-07		erad1288: wild complications here! Is there a quick finish here? What am I missing because there are too many pieces left on the board to resign. I mean white's king does look too safe to me, nor is black's, but I see plenty of chances for both sides. Does anyone know why Polgar resigned here?

Nov-11-07		Kaspablanca: Black to move and is in check. If black plays 36.. Kc5 37. Na4+ winning the queen. But if black moves 36...Nd3 covering the check white plays 37. Rd8+ a mortal check, if black plays then Ke7 white respond with Qxc7 winning the rook but if then moves Kc6 procteting the rook white respond with Bf3+ with decisive advantage for white.

Nov-11-07		SetNoEscapeOn: wild game....

Nov-13-07		lentil: erad: White's rook up. Also, the last few moves have the look of a time-scramble... 32..Kd6?!?

Dec-18-07		AnotherNN: Can't understand why at move 24, RP didn't play 24. Q-h7+, followed by 25.B-h5+. Would have gotten him the exchange at least.

Dec-19-07		Cyphelium: <AnotherNN> He won an exchange the way he played too, and his initiative was still there as well.

Mar-13-08		positionalgenius: Great game...
