Apr-24-12  YoungEd: Nice Queen trap. Not 16. ♕xh6, for ♘g4+. And if 16. ♕h4, ♘xe4+ does the trick. Did White's troubles start with 7. ♔f2, maybe? I don't understand that move.
Apr-24-12  King Death: <YoungEd> Maybe White should've played 5.0-0 to go back to the main line in the Classical after 5...d6 6.d4 h6. After this game the year before I can understand why he might not have wanted to though (Spassky vs A Ornstein, 1974).
Jun-22-20  kenilworthian: And if 16.Qa5 then Black has a mating attack with Ng4+ and Qh4.

  perfidious: It came as a surprise to see Westerinen, that great specialist in the King's Gambit, take up the cudgels for the dark side and come out winner, as his stylistic forerunner Chigorin had, long before.
