Nov-25-07		apple pi: The combinational parade from move 10 to 19 is probably the most bizarre sequence of events I've ever seen on the chequered board.

Nov-25-07		baggio: Cestitam Dusko! Lepe pozdrave iz Maribora in se veliko lepih iger ti zelim! Navijam zate! translation: Congratulation Dusko! Best regards from Maribor, Slovenia. I wish you many beautiful games. I am your fan!

Dec-02-07		beenthere240: Whar's the killer continuation here?

Dec-02-07		tpstar: The primary threat is 43 ... Nh4 & 44 ... Qxg2#. If 43. Kf1 Nh4 44. Bh1 Qh3+ wins the Bh1, as 45. Kg1 Nf3+ 46. Bxf3 exf3 with mate on g2. Or 43. Kh1 Nh4 44. Bf1 Nf3 (threatening 45 ... Qg1#) 45. Bg2 Qh5+/Qh4+ 46. Bh3 Qxh3#. White could try 43. Kf1 Nh4 44. f3 defending the Bg2 but then 44 ... ef 45. Bh1 Qh3+ still wins the Bh1; 46. Kg1 f2+! 47. Kxf2 (47. Rxf2/Bxf2 Qxh1#) Qxh1 and White's King will die on the light squares.

Jul-02-08		apexin: excellent game! looks like 11.Nxg6 was a mistake. white exchanges the queen for + against ++.but why not 20...Qxd4 to finish off white faster?

Apr-20-09		Whitehat1963: A good look at the latest theory on the Opening of the Day.
