May-11-12  Riverbeast: Nice game, Ms. Kats
May-11-12  Mudphudder: Black's pawn promotion was a mistake. It leads only to a useless queen (if there was ever such a thing LOL).
May-14-12  mpl: Black missed the very cool 34... Qg2+! which draws:

34... Qg2+! 35. Kxg2 fxg6 36. Kh1 Bg5! 37. Rxb1 ( Qxg5 Qf5! ) gxh5 39. Rxg5+ Kh7

  Shams: <mpl> Nice line. 36...Bg5 is great.

Is 10.Nce2 an anti-Browne system? Also I can't remember the last time I saw White castle short in these lines. Can anyone shed a little theoretical light on this opening?

May-21-12  Jason Frost: <mpl> Wow, epic! 34...? would be an amazing Sunday puzzle. Or perhaps we would need an eighth day on calender for this one.

After the win, Kats discussed the game,
she said she didn’t study openings.

I’m guessing she just plays what she likes to play.

May-22-12  Cibator: Kats pajamas.
May-24-12  Gambit86: <mpl> If i could click "like" on your continuation after move 34 i would. Excellent
