Jan-24-12		amaurobius: This is a good scalp for Hanley - after playing the Schliemann as black too! Starting with 14 Nxe5 white gave up a piece for a promising attack but black defended resolutely and in the end his extra material won the game. One suspects white could have done better and missed his way somewhere but I can't pinpoint where.

Jan-24-12		belgradegambit: As far as I can tell just an unsound attack.

Jan-24-12		belgradegambit: Actually 23. Qf5+ Qxf5 24.gxf5 Kg5 25 Ne4+ gives white some counterchances. The connected passed pawns can be dangerous.

Jan-24-12		amaurobius: <belgradegambit> Thank you - that certainly looks to be an improvement.

Jan-24-12		Penguincw: Biggest surprise of Round 1, along with Shirov vs Lyberg Patrik, 2012. All the other games have the favourites winning, regardless of playing the white or black pieces.

Jan-24-12		Whitehat1963: This is in the neighborhood of 250 Elo points! Quite an upset.

Jan-25-12		Shams: Somebody needs to start a game collection: 2700s lose to non-GMS.

Jan-25-12		zoren: convincing defensive game beating a very strong player.

Feb-06-12		gaatab: 21:qc5! instead of qf1 would lead to a draw...qg5 rf5 qc1+rf1 qg5 and so on. if ng7 instead of qg5 (to stop the mate on f5)black loses to r:g7+! with mate to follow. but sutovsky was there to kill...:) gg!
