Apr-11-09		bumpmobile: Wouldn't 32.e6+ be even more decisive? (Note: the answer is obviously 'no' since he didn't play it; The question I am actually asking is why didn't he play it?)

Apr-25-09		Andrijadj: Notyetagm,you always do good job explaining tactical motifs.Perhaps you should consider running a chess school or smth... Of course,to do that you need to stick to teaching,and restrain from bashing Kramnik:)))
