Feb-12-12		Domdaniel: There were plenty of errors on both sides, but they look like normal 19th century OTB errors, with a fascinating Indian/European clash of styles. Up to a point. But the sequence 53.Ke6 Qb6 54.Kd7 h5 makes no sense at all -- the score must be wrong. 53.Ke6 Qb8 makes more sense, but then 54.Kd7 creates a threat (Rc8+) about which ...h5 does nothing. And White's Kc8 would be illegal. Maybe 53...Qa5 was played. Then what follows makes more sense, and the Queen is next seen with 56...Qxc5+. That's more plausible, I think. But then we have the problem of 56.Rxf6. Maybe Black had played ...g5 instead of ...h5 ...?

Feb-12-12		Domdaniel: Incidentally, this may start out as a "Reversed Rat" but the position after 9-10 moves still turns up today in the Reversed Benoni. I played it a couple of days ago, using the more 'normal' move order 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 d5 3.Bg2 c5 4.c4 d4 5.e3 Nc6 6.exd4 cxd4 7.d3 etc.
