Apr-23-08		tal lover: good attack

Apr-25-08		luzhin: After 26..Rfd8 the finish would be 27.Rg5+ Kf8 28.Rf5 Rd7 29.Qh8+ Ke7 30.Re5+ Kd6 31.Qf6 mate!

May-05-08		Jackz: Notice how Black cannot defend with 21...N4e5 with the idea of Ng6, which is refuted by the discovered check by the bishop, 22.Be3.

May-05-08		parmetd: 16... Na5??? The moment that happens you know its either a fake gm or a guy with a really really bad day.

May-05-08		JohnTal: Bartolo got a mouthful of baloney from start to finish. Nothing like a perfect position for White after 18 moves with numerous attacking themes in the air. At that point, with 3 of Black's pieces on the a-file -- you knew that Bartolo wasn't going to last long. Nothing like being a full rook down and able to impose imminent mate on your opponent and there is nothing he can do to stop it. I remember Bobby Fischer's famous quote, "I like to see my opponent squirm in the chair". Bartolo experienced it firsthand.

May-05-08		Avarus: I expected something like 20.Qg3 with similar ideas but that 20.Nf6 worked right away! Quite fun counter to black's pawncrabbing.

May-05-08		kevin86: An odd conclusion: black can run,but he can't hide. If 28...g8 29 xf7+ h8 30 h5 or 28... f7? 29 h8# Black's queen would like to guard along the 2nd row,but there is one two many pawns in the weigh (spelling errors are intentional).

May-05-08		drpoundsign: twitching from the itching? squirmin from the burnin?
