  Open Defence: 15...Bg4 deserves a deep look
Mar-17-09  hellopolgar: man you rarely see that in real-time classical games, 2 minor pieces against 2 rooks? sweet game though.
Apr-03-11  JoergWalter: Can somebody please help with two questions concerning this game? 1. the position after 15. Bh6 looks the same as in the Anderssen-De Riviere game from 1859 in this database. was this intended? 2. the "theory" recommends for white 8. Ba3. something wrong with it? Thanks in advance.
