Jun-08-12		knightedmagi: Clearly black is lost

Jun-08-12		pericles of athens: this can't be the full game, can it? Black is not lost. In fact, after a few minutes of thinking, Fritz gives several suggestions for white's 6th move - all of which score in the negative: Bg2 -0.05 d3 -0.21 Qb3 -0.28 Qa4 -0.28 Nxd5 -0.45

Jun-08-12		pericles of athens: Am I - and Fritz - totally crazy? Have we missed something? I've never seen anything like this.

Jun-10-12		Stanley Yee: Cellphone went off?

Jun-11-12		mrkangaroo: Yeah black's totally lost. Well known trap.

Jun-11-12		DanielBryant: I assume mrkangaroo is joking?

Jun-15-12		Snehalshekatkar: would anybody explain if there is really any trap here which even Kramnik didn't know about?

Jun-15-12		Honza Cervenka: It is just an incomplete gamescore. There were some problems with electronic transmission on some boards during the blitz tournament.

Jun-17-12		KWRegan: I have declared this game incomplete in my version of the PGN file.

Jul-14-12		KWRegan: Thank you very much, user tasteportero, for the score completion.

Sep-21-12		grasser: If I am going to do battle in Blitz against Kramnik, I taking my jacket off and getting down to business. Why constrict yourself Evgeny? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGD...
