Aug-03-09		An Englishman: Good Evening: 27.Nd2 is a nifty little pawn sac that Black probably should not have taken. 27.Nd2,g6!?; 28.Ne4!?,Bg7 looks fine for Black, but 28.c4,b4; 29.Nb3 intending c4-c5 might be more troublesome.

Aug-03-09		Keith Dow: Dear Mr. Englishman. Did you mean 25 Nd2 rather than 27 Nd2?

Aug-04-09		An Englishman: Good Evening: <Keith Dow>, I did indeed mean 25.Nd2. Dash it all, now my bloody eyes are going, in addition to everything else.
