Oct-18-02  Danilomagalhaes: Good closed game. It´s my favorite kind of game. I guess that white has more mobility with this. I love talking about this opening and there are good ways for black to have a better game I guess that the 14th move wasn´t very good for black. It lets white open lines and atack well.
Jan-20-08  computer chess guy: Generally well played by White, but 44 .. c3 might have saved Black. White can not then play ♖e6 (because of .. c2) but must go for ♖c6, which engines evaluate as =.

Later on, White missed 50. ♕g5+ ♔c7 51. ♖e7, which looks like a more direct way to win. On move 52, Black could have tried .. ♘d7, which holds on better than the game move 52 .. ♘d5.
