Jan-31-09		dumbgai: Brutal attack by White. Grabbing pawns that open up lines against your king is always risky business.

Jan-31-09		Strongest Force: A very pleasant surprise! Maybe Yifan can get that even score i hoped she could get by winning her last round game!

Feb-01-09		Ashram64: very strong play by yi fan, should get an award for this game

Feb-01-09		syracrophy: Humiliating for Vallejo! What a shame of black's play! A complete mess! 17...h2?, 18...xh3?, 19...xg4? What the heck was thinking this guy! Brilliant game of the chinese girl!

Oct-06-10		Pygeum Lycopene: this game plays like a Morphy vs NN encounter.

Dec-28-10		chancho: Paco got stomped.

Dec-29-10		izimbra: 18.Nce2 was brilliant. At medium ply, chess engines actually have trouble seeing the trap: the only escape route for the black Q, back to d7, means that the Bc8 is no longer protecting e6.

Jul-14-12		wordfunph: when interviewed by NIC, GM Hou Yifan cited this as her best game so far.
