  FSR: Ouch - surprisingly naive play from young (but already strong) Seirawan.

  FSR: 6.Bb5+ seems weird, provoking a move that Black wanted to play anyway.
Nov-01-11  Everett: <FSR> Seirawan had been playing for all of 4 years, so he can be forgiven.

His naive play after becoming GM 4 years later is another story!

  FSR: Hmm, Seirawan's career and mine are similar in a couple of trivial respects: we were both born in 1960 and started playing seriously around the time of the Fischer-Spassky match in 1972. (Apparently in his case, he hadn't played <at all> before 1972.)
