Jan-28-11  johnlspouge: White missed a mate in 2:

15.Qe3+ Kh5 [g5 16.Qxg5#] 16.Qg5#

Feb-16-11  Lil Swine: Perry used to go to my school
May-07-11  samsloan: It is correct that my opponent missed a mate in two with 15. Qe3+. However, I should have played 13. ... Nxd5. Then the knight guards the key squares f4 and e3 and White is in trouble.
May-07-11  DanielBryant: After 13...Nxd5, after 14.f6+ Kg6, White's best seems to be 15.Qg5+, and Black is probably technically winning, but dealing with White's pawn cascade won't be trivial.
May-07-11  DanielBryant: I might add that I couldn't resist the temptation of analyzing 14...Kg4, but after 15.Rf1, White's clearly winning.

  FSR: Sloan played 9...Ne7 before in A Lenderman vs S Sloan, 2007. He tried 9...Nd7 in V Heinis vs S Sloan, 2009, but it led to a "Heinis" crush.
May-07-11  DanielBryant: The Wikipedia article on the Damiano Defense says that Sloan plays the line in the hopes that White will not know the Bxb7 trap. I clicked on the provided citation, which didn't exactly state this but quoted Sloan saying that he feels Black still has decent practical chances against sub-2100 players even if White does take on b7. Interesting indeed.

  FSR: In CG's database, 3.Bc4, 3.d4, and 3.Nc3 have done even better than the "official refutation" 3.Nxe5. http://bit.ly/j8i1iF The only game that continued with 8.h4 h6 9.Bxb7! was D Aldrich vs S Sloan, 2007. White was only rated 1677, and did manage to lose despite his four extra pawns. When Sloan's opponents have been rated 2000 and above, they win. Whey they've been lower-rated, they lose. http://bit.ly/lfj7zU
