Jan-13-11		OneArmedScissor: whooooooaaaaaaa! what a game!

Jan-13-11		JuliusDS: Could the queen sacrifice have possible been sound? Or would the result have been largely due to the huge difference in ability, and the time control?

Jan-13-11		kellmano: Great game, but surely not remotely sound. 26. a3 stood out to me as a poor move. 26. Bxd3 looks simpler, when presumably ........Re8 will follow and then 27. Qxe8 Rxd8+ 28. Be4 and it looks like white is better in a clear(ish) position. Or perhaps just moving the king off the e-file on move 26 would retain an advantage.
