Dec-27-08		cliffordgoodman: how is this a draw? position is very unbalanced and white is up 2 pawns.........

Dec-28-08		Per: < how is this a draw? position is very unbalanced and white is up 2 pawns.........> Good question. This is why we need no drawing rules

Aug-02-09		percyblakeney: It's interesting to look at possible continuations, after 18. ... 0-0-0 19. Qf5+ black has the cute Qe6: click for larger view After queen exchange the black bishops and rooks will be looking rather ominously at the white kingside. Also after 19. Qf3 Rh3 followed by Rdh8 it is easy for white to land in trouble in spite of the two extra pawns.

Aug-15-09		2ndNature: <percyblakeney> Qe6 is possible even on move 18., ie. 18...Qe6 and white can't play 19. dxe6 because of 19...Rh1#
