Apr-13-08  zev22407: What if black plays 15)..Nxf3+?
Apr-13-08  mistreaver: <zev22407>
Imho if 15... ♘xf3+ 16 gxf3
white has two open lines for action and his DSB is very dangeroues there probably Kasparov would be able to mount an attack of that
Jun-01-08  whiteshark: In comparison to the game black is better after <15...Nxf3+ 16.gxf3 Qe5 17.hxg7+ Kxg7 18.Bh6+ Kf6> when the black king looks to be 'safe' on f6.

  perfidious: Is there a recorded instance of <LoatheThatWanker> scoring below par on any puzzle and thus possibly being a player inferior to these titans? I have never seen a single, solit'ry time when he has made a score below par.
