| patzer2: In this line of the Pirc, the mainline I prefer is 8...Bxb5! as in J Wempe vs A Korotylev, 2005 However, the first 13 moves here were previously played in Nunn vs Seirawan, 1989.
White's 14. Ne6!? appears to be a novelty (at least according to the Opening Explorer), which works out well in this game with the winning deflection sacrifice 20. Rxd5! So, assuming the Opening theory and previous GM play is OK, Black needs to find an improvement after 14. Nf6 and before 20. Rxd5! One quick idea is <15...Bf6!?> 16.f5 Nc6 17.fxg6 Rg8 18.Qh5 Rxg6 19.Nf4 Qg4 20.Qxd5 Rg5 21.Qc4 0𢠢 = (-0.22 @ 12 depth per Fritz 8). Or Black can go back to the mainline 8...Bxb5! |

| Autoreparaturwerkbau: Mr. Easter has only 1 game in the database - it seems like chessgames.com "invited" him here for that specific reason - just to get the cool pun ;) |

| patzer2: <Autoreparaturwerkbau:...chessgames.com "invited" him here...just to get the cool pun> Maybe so, but the game is interesting, well played and of some theoretical importance. White's novelty 14. Ne6!? is solid and very playable in this opening. |

| karnak64: Well, as a Christian I'd have preferred a game wheich Easter wins (that's the point of the faith, right?). But there being but one in the database, the clever chaps at CG did what they could, for which I am grateful. A blessed day to all, regardless of your credo. |

| kevin86: There was a player from the Cleveland Indians named Luke Easter-in fact-he was one of the first African Americans to play for Cleveland,Larry Doby was the first. There once was a player named Friday-he was a good player,but it looked like his position was lost-according to a reviewer. The game was adjourned and resumed two days later. In a very short time, Friday won the game! The reviewer was told:"I thought you said that his game was dead". The reviewer responded,"It was,but it AROSE!!" Happy EASTER! to all! |

| offramp: <Logikal> I have never heard anyone anywhere ever wish anyone a prosperous Easter. |
|

| TheSlid: Wishing prosperity is more common at the time of the New Year, but Happy Easter to you, <Logikal> and good luck with your study of the game. |

| Buddy Revell: Had Black castled on the 5th move, this game would have been a lot different. |
|
| Mar-23-08 |
| Giearth: I think it might had been nicer if Black chose 22...  c6 instead of 22... e8 :) But then I maybe wrong. :) |

| WickedPawn: I like watching these games from 1800 ELO players (like me). They show how you can play somehow consistently and yet get crushed quickly without knowing exactly what went wrong. |

| xrt999: game of the day is chosen not because it is a brilliant game or has something interesting to teach all levels of play, but because one of the players' name is the same as a holiday being celebrated today. Maybe there is a player with the name "Pisces" out there and he or she can be player of the month during their sign, and we can celebrate their existence here on CG. |

| Smothered Mate: Black should play 14...  b6 intending 15. 0-0-0 a5 with a counterattack against the white . |

| xrt999: <Samagonka: What a tactician this John..the Langreck one. Maximum respeck!> He should be applauded for easily defeating someone rated 400 less ? |

| JG27Pyth: This is an interesting game, low ratings or not. I think Langreck played the opening really aggressively. The e6 push is interesting and not an obvious move IMO. e6 is easy to see after the fact, but I think I would tend to leave the pawn on e5 to bottle up Black's fianchettoed king-side bishop... but White's advantage for the rest of the game follows from that pawn push I think. |

| kevin86: Do Easter bunnies play "Rabbit-transit" chess.
I wonder how an Easter bunny would do against Jerry Ferrara-aka Turtle on Entourage. You know:tortoise vs hare... |
