Oct-01-10		Domdaniel: Incredible stuff, a roller-coaster from move 15 to 100. Objectively, Collins should probably have taken the draw which was easily available after his sac. Then he might have won with 34...Qe2+ 35.Kg3 g5 (35.Kg1 d3)... But he played on with Queen (and pawns) vs two Rooks and Knight. Was better, then worse, then probably drawn again before his opponent finally cracked. Far from perfect play, yet still somehow brilliant.
