Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-02-06  syracrophy: Its mate in two:

<20.Kh2 Rxh3+ 21.Kg2 Rg8++>

Jan-02-07  CitricAcid13: I believe you mean 21. Kg1, but it is a beautiful mate.
Dec-10-14  Knight13: So White got summarily punished for not "properly" completing his development.

16. Bb3 might offer White slightly better chances, sacrificing a pawn for much-needed piece activity, even though White still has a considerably worse position after 16... Nxd3 17. Nd2 Nxb2 18. Nf3 or 17... d4 18. c4.

Mar-22-24  Marcelo Bruno: James Mason included it to illustrate the algebraic notation (with good reason because it has opposite castlings) in his "The game of chess (1903)" and J. Carvalho in his "Xadrez sem mestre (Chess without master)[1948]", but here the only game that Black wins: the remaining ones in Carvalho's book are won by White.
