Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-04-04   PinkPanther: Ouch, not looking too good for white in this variation.
Jun-27-05   12929011: In my MCO 14th edition, 6...e5 is given an exclamation point, but it doesn't explain why it is such a good move. It just doesn't seem apparent to me why black does so well here. Could someone explain please?
Sep-03-05   lopium: All depend of all.
Apr-25-06   sewun77: i was enter my card number , and still can not proccess. exactly what must i do now
