Oct-28-12		bystander: I do not understand the qualification of the opening: Why not Four-knight or Vienna game? Whatever the opening may be called, the game is very interesting though.

Oct-28-12		bystander: 11 h2... looks a little bit too cautious to me. What about 11} d5 0-0 12) c3 f6 13) c2 f7 14) d2 d7 15) h2 15) d6 16) f4. Kh2 makes sense now (to prepeare for f4). In this line, d5x, ed5x, d5x does not bring much to black, because the black c-pawn gets trippeled.

Oct-28-12		bystander: (13 Ne2}. If this move is to prepare d4 (see move 14-17), I think it is too slow and it gives black counterplay on the kingside. What if white prepares for f4? E.g 13) h4 0-0-0, 14) f4 c4 15) ad1 cd3x 16) cd3x ef4x 17) f4x f4x 18) gf4x. Or 13) h4 0-0-0 10 d5 d5x 15 ed5x e7 16) c4 or another 10th move for black?

Oct-28-12		bystander: 23..h4? After {24) g4) white can close the kingside and has some changes for a draw again. 23)..f5 looks stronger to me, but things get very complicated. One example. 23)...f5 24) ef5x f5x 25) ab1 h4 26) g4 e4+ 27) g1 f3x 28) f3x ef3x. In this line 24)..h4 looks even better.

Oct-28-12		bystander: 28) f4? Now white opens his kingside voluntary and the game is lost. I would prefer 28) ac1.
