Jun-28-08  hitman84: Nice miniature! This guy knows the opening very well. The d5 square is vital in the Morra Gambit opening.
Jun-30-08  Zygalski: After 19...Be6? it's lights out.

16.Bd5!? looks ludicrous at first glance, but shows powerful positional awareness by Zelic, because after 16...exd5 17.Rfe1 f6 18.Nd6+ Bxd6 19.Qxd6 both the d5-pawn and Ne5 are under threat.
