Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-02-03  bishop: Black did not castle and could not coordinate his pieces. Black,s pawn pushes on the kingside with his king stuck in the middle could not possibly lead to anything. White opened up lines with his f-Pawn and won easily. I believe Black,s troubles began with the "offside" move 8...Na5.
May-18-04  Archerforthelord: I disagree, Na5 is decent. Black can keep his king in the middle because of white's inability to breakthrough effectively. De Firmian however invades on the kingside with his queen and then things really open up.
Oct-26-19  lunchwithgina: 44. Qh7 slips past the e7 blockade--there is no defense to the imminent Nf5.
