Jun-25-10		mpl: The thread is 24.. h3 and 25.. g1+ 26. xg1 xf2++ Since moves of the h-pawn looses quickly due to rooks on the h- and g-line, 24. g1 is forced. But then the bishop on a2 is lost: 24. g1 xg1+ 25. xg1 xg1+ 26. xg1 e2+ 27. f1 xc3

Jun-26-10		Per: <mpl:> Thanks! That enlightened me. Pretty finish!!

Jul-05-10		perfidious: In the tournament book of Nottingham 1936, Alekhine criticises 7....Ne7 even then, and I was surprised to find how often it's since been played. One nice win for Black was Tylor-Lasker from Nottingham, showcasing Lasker's tremendous endgame skill.

Jul-17-10		SU1989: <mpl> Thanks for providing the line after 24.Rg1. I saw that move and thought it was legit, and didn't understand why Nisipeanu resigned. Of course I didn't consider Ne2+ followed by the capture of the bishop.
