dhotts: It seems like 17...Qf6 was the mistake, I liked 17...Qf4, which is where the Black Queen ends up, but after giving white a couple moves. The immediate 17...Qf4 seems to give Black the opportunity to get things going with 18...Nf6 threatened.

dhotts: Why didn't AJ resign at some point? Its not like Tkachiev was his typical low level opponent, he was a GM of international standing. Wow!

dhotts: WOW, a GM falls in 15 moves! Its almost as amazing as Magnus going down in 19 moves.

dhotts: 194 pages of kibitzing is just the beginning! The LIFE master is in control and we follow him even if we have issues with his self-deification.
