  An Englishman: Good Evening: Surprisingly, 8.g4 is theory--but bad in theory as Black is ah, "crushing" White in this variation. In fact, here is another featuring the same opponents: I Krush vs A Zatonskih, 2011

  offramp: Theory Z? Ouch!
Feb-22-16  schnarre: ...I don't think the early exchange of Queens helped White at all here.
Feb-22-16  morfishine: <offramp>'s comment is funnier than the game title

  offramp: <morfishine>, well spotted! Your intelligence, which I have LONG known, is evident!
Feb-22-16  kevin86: White resigns...he is hopelessly two pawns down.
Feb-22-16  Labgrunt: <kevin86>, that would be "she" is hopelessly two pawns down.
Feb-22-16  Harvestman: I suppose that what white is playing for is to have the central pawns, and hope to advance them with effect, but it just looks like she is playing for a draw at most. The whole thing looks bad enough to be something I might play.
