Jun-11-04  chessplayermatthew: why 0-1 and not 1-0
Jun-11-04  Swindler: Black is winning even though he is the exchange down, but all his pieces are developed and ready to go after the king. Also the queen is in a precarious position.
Jun-11-04  maddy: if queen is not moved 12 .. Bg7 if 12.Qg8 Bb4+ queen is lost.

  Chessical: After <12.g3!>, I think that the best Black has is <12...Qe7>.
Jan-02-10  hulkweazel: White resigned because his queen is lost regardless of what he does. Good job by black to wall in white's queen.

Actually, Black maintains the edge after 12... ♗b4+.

White's best continuation is...

13. ♙c3 ♕e7, when White has no choice but to exchange the rook with the queen and hope for the best.

14. ♕xd8 ♔xd8.

In this position, castling doesn't gain White any relief because of Black's dangerously placed bishop and knight, and the queen on e7 who can be brought into the attack easily.

White's two best tries seem to be allowing Black's knight to escape by playing 15. ♗e3, protecting the vulnerable queen's pawn, or grabbing the knight with 15. ♗xh5. 15. ♙cxb4 is unwise because of ♘xd4.

Still, Black has the initiative and superior development, and should win easily.

Mar-23-14  Everett: For those fans on the Black side of 1.Nf3 f5 2.e4 <Lysitsin Gambit>, apparently you can transpose to this game with 2..Nc6, if it suits your fancy.
