Nov-30-07		cschoenberger: Nice game, following in the footsteps of Kramnik vs Anand, 2007 World Blitz Cup 2007

Nov-30-07		sanyas: I think it should be clear, at this point, that the queen sac is good for White.

Nov-30-07		grebenarov: Brilliant coordination of pieces by Ponomariov, playing with no queen!

Apr-11-08		Whitehat1963: An excellent game on both sides, and a great look at the Opening of the Day.

Feb-12-09		freeman8201: very instructive game! who played it first Kramnik or Ponomariov

Jan-12-11		4tmac: 37. ..d4! with likely a draw

Jan-12-11		Salaskan: It's not a sacrifice, trading your queen for rook+knight+2 pawns is a win of material.
