Jun-21-08  shr0pshire: 13. ...h5??? What is the plan for this other than outright losing?
Jun-22-08  whiteshark: <shr0pshire> I've no idea. Maybe the best for a more persistent defence was <13...b5 14.Rfe1 Ra7> and I couldn't find a sudden strike down.
Jun-22-08  inthestepsofTal: I like the position after whites final move ;D
Jun-22-08  mate2900s: I was at this tournament the winner of the game was very pleased with his crush of the master he said he did a lot of study on this line and Rico played right into it
Jun-22-08  shr0pshire: <mate2900s> I play this line in the scotch (the Qh4 one) and black was fine until move 13. ...h5??? as <whiteshark> noted black had a good line where he is about equal.

Sells played a fine game, and it looks like well above his rating. He deserved the win. And I have no clue what black was trying to do in the second half of this game.
