  chancho: Getting hit with a pan can be painful.

Jan-31-18  luzhin: 12.Nxa4!? is an remarkable novelty in a very well known position. Ivanchuk responded perfectly until he played the losing 21...0-0. It was necessary to play 21...Rf8 and to keep the King in the centre to help blockade the White pawns, after which Black, if anyone, has the advantage.
