| |
| parisattack: In my humble opinion - the Steinitz is close to a bust to the French Defense. |

Feb-20-26 Mamedyarov vs L Cernousek, 2002
| |
| parisattack: From the old 'Shak and Awe' days when he used pawns as battering rams to blow through an opponent's position. Where are you <MamedyarovFan>? |

| |
| parisattack: <perfidious> Thx! That's a swell game. Deefinitely not typical N-I! I'll have to go over it a little more slowly later. If I had an engine would be good to see what it says along the way. |

| parisattack: So sad. I remember purchasing Mastering Positional Chess on a bit of a whim. As I worked through it I thought - "Wow, a really great book!" and was floored to find out it was written by a 14 year-old. RIP, Danya. |
