 | | yoozum: This almost looks like a Morphy game from the 1800's. |

 | | messachess: I think 15..Nxd4 was a mistake. Black needs to try to defend the a3-f8 diagonal from Ba3. I would say 15..N5b4. That seems to make castling feasible if black can afford the tempo for h6.--can't afford not to. So, 15..N5b4. 16.0-0 Nc2 17.Rb1 N6b4 and black stands a little better than the game. |

| Apr-10-12 | | Octal: Does anyone feel bad for Jakovenko?
I mean, I love Moro and all, but I'm sure it feels pretty bad for a 2700 to lose like this. |

| Apr-10-12 | | Octal: <messachess>: check out this game Morozevich vs I Khairullin, 2012 |

| | messachess: <Ocatal> It looks like it might be standard book, but for black to permit the advance of the <e> pawn seems doomed to failure, here as well as in the game you shared. (I have a feeling that Moro has mastered this variation.) |
|
| Apr-11-12 | | Everett: This looks like a great Geller Gambit variation, with a massive development lead for White. 17.Bxd5 is a critical moment and seems to lead by force to 22.Qb3. White is two pawns down but has scope for all his pieces, while Black's K is stuck in the center and is playing without a R. |

| Apr-12-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Fantastic piece play by Morozevich!

 | | GrahamClayton: You know you are in trouble when you have to play moves like 22...h5 and 23... h6 to get one of your pieces into play. The White bishop on a3 is a monster! |
|
| Aug-16-12 | | Jim Bartle: Completely different position, of course, but Fischer played h5 and Rh6 in winning the famous game Keres vs Fischer, 1959 |
