  Honza Cervenka: Greed is a mortal sin in chess. 34.Qa6?! and 35.Qxa7?? was a successful attempt of suicide.
Aug-10-12  LoveThatJoker: I really enjoyed playing through this game. Natalia reminded me of a young Kramnik in this one.

  HeMateMe: Yeah, don't go pawn hunting when your opponent has three pieces aimed at your king.

You could kind of see it coming when Natalie took charge of the long h1-a8 diagonal.

Why does black play 6...h6 in this opening? There isn't a real serious move to drive off the Bishop, but the pawn on h6 sometimes turns into a weak point for a piece sac, later on.

  perfidious: <HMM> Same as in the old form of the Lasker QGD, playing ....h6 provides a bolt-hole for the king and has long been regarded as an improvement.
