White Star: I also went for 40..Rh6

|
White Star: White had so many opportunities to castle, but he was greedy and lost to good positional play. What was his rating?

| | Sep-28-12 S Morris vs F Marchand, 1992
| |
|
White Star: Black is about to be mated, so he has to move fast! 30) ..R(f) x f3 does the trick, followed by 31) ..Rxf3, which ends the game; better than 31) ..qxf3 which allows some slippery moves and an uncertain outcome

White Star: 17) Qxh5 caught my eye, but what a wild ride after that!

| |
|
White Star: 33) Qc5+ deserves a !, since the immediate Qxa5 gives Black time to re-organise with Qf7 and Rb8

White Star: 35) ..R8xe3 36) fxe3 Rg2+ ! sets up a N fork

White Star: Black's light sq. B is bad, so 5) Bd3 is definitely wrong positionally. I went for 5) Nbd2, so if we want to play c4 later, Black cannot swap off his bad B. Nothing wrong with 5)Be2 either

White Star: the trick here was to see that after Bxf7 Kxf7 White could chase the Q with N moves to e6, c4 and c7; impressively short game!
