Nov-18-17		Bare Beginner: Beautifully strong K side pawn storm!

Nov-18-17		eykca: wonderful play, I kept counting material (like a patz) and every time I did, I worried for white (like a patz) great game.

Nov-18-17		Sneaky: Demonstrative game and very witty pun. <eykca> At a chess tournament once, (patzer section of course), and I asked a friend (master) in the hall “Are you in trouble, you’re down a piece.” He said “Piece, schmiece... I don’t feel down a piece!” He went on to win.

Nov-18-17		An Englishman: Good Evening: Amazing display of intuition, tactics and judgment. White kept exchanging pieces after his sacrifice, leading me to believe that his attack was dying. But no, he always had one more threat coming.

Nov-18-17		An Englishman: Good Evening: Incredibly (well, incredibly to this non-Sicilian player), it's all theory until 14.Bf5. 14.Rhe1+ is more common, even after this game, so perhaps the silicon monsters found a flaw in White's play. Here's another brawl: Sumant vs Edward Lee Kim Han, 2008

Nov-18-17		offramp: <Sneaky:...At a chess tournament once, (patzer section of course), and I asked a friend (master) in the hall “Are you in trouble, you’re down a piece.” He said “Piece, schmiece... I don’t feel down a piece!” He went on to win.> Hooray! USA! USA!

Nov-18-17		morfishine: Very interesting game from both sides. While one gets the feeling Black could've improved somewhere, its probably not too hard to find improvements to hold the draw (not to take anything away from White). This was very nicely played, perhaps Black became somewhat hypnotized and was suffering from "deer in the headlights" *****
