Mar-23-04  seoulmama: What if 22.Bxd5?
Sep-07-07  Benzol: 22.♗xd5 ♖ab8 23.♗xe6 fxe6 and although White is a piece up Black has some nasty threats down the f-file as well as threatening the White Queen.
Apr-29-10  thegoodanarchist: This game got one of the two brilliancy prizes awarded in round 8.

IMO this shows that two prizes <per round> is way too many.

It is a fine game and all, but no brilliancy.

Aug-08-14  zanzibar: <(Notes based on corrected score, with 10...Rd8 instead of 10...Qd8)>

In the opening battle, 14...Qg5 is an interesting move.

E.g. if 15.g3? - White is weak, first on the white squares, then on the dark:

<15.g3? Bg4 16.h4 Qf6 17.Qc2 Bxe2 18.Kxe2 Nd3 19.f3 exf3+ 20.Kxd3>

(What's Black's best?)

Black has nice compensation for the sacrifice, and the rook on d8 playing a subtle but important role.

By the way, after 14...Qg5 White's best is probably 15.f4:

Then comes 15...Qxg2 16.O-O-O sharp and a fun game.
