Jun-27-12		Everett: A mortal stroll for the White K in this one.

Sep-14-12		An Englishman: Good Evening: A Double Rook Sacrifice vs. Bobby Fischer?! I'll wager that did not happen too often.

Sep-14-12		hugogomes: I don't see the double rook sacrifice. Black regains both rooks and takes the win.

Dec-23-12		BwanaVa: It should be noted that the late Charlie Powell went on to win the US Armed services Championship, seven times VA champion, and one time Northern California champion before his untimely death in 1991.
