 | | Once: Black goes down amazingly quickly in this one. His only crime against the natural laws of chess seems to be pushing the queenside pawns before developing his pieces. But it took some vigorous attacking moves by white to bring home the point. Fun. |

 | | scormus: I was never too sure about re-christening of opening lines (Greco CG -> Latvian, Wlikes-Barre -> Traxler). Before I knew this had a name, I used to try 3. Bc4 against the Petroff, but I never won with it :-( But great swashbuckling play by W here, as befits the classical era of piracy on the high seas ;-) |

 | | kellmano: Interestingly modern in appearance this one.
Also, black resugns rather than playing it out to the bitter death. |

 | | chrisowen: Leonardos spreading his wings amen, hoping for flight of the Bxf5 following a score 19.Qh6. Fair formula, Gio conned a drawing Bxf5 opening also main arrangement Rf1. In wait he lie, copped a heading back bishop Bh7. Turn of the screw cut flying rxf6 loose. Propel swing in knight drift cranked up attack. It was the real ghost hornet Bg5/h4 that stirred the nest. Qxh6 is light's invincible architect to shaft him. |
