Feb-06-09  whiteshark: Better was <9.Nc4! a6> (what else?), e.g. <10.Bd3 Qxg2 11.Be4 Qh3 12.Nd4 Nf6 13.Bxc6 dxc6 14.Nxa5 Bg4!>

Mar-20-14  Xeroxx: nice game.
Nov-17-14  hesyrett: In <whiteshark>'s line, a possible improvement for Black is 12...Nge7.  Then if White takes the piece via 13.Nxc6 Nxc6 14.Bxc6 dxc6 15.Nxa5 Black's 15...Bg4 looks very strong, e.g. 16.Qb3? Qf3 17.O-O Bh3 and mate next, or 16.Qd2 Rd8, or 16.Qc2 O-O-O stranding White's K in the center.
