Dec-10-02  bishop: A routine Rook sacrifice for Morphy. 15...Qxe6 is a mistake, If instead ...fxe6 I cannot find anything more than perpetual check.
Dec-08-03  fred lennox: 15...fxe6, fxg7+...Kxg7, N3f5+...exf5, Nxf5+
Apr-21-06  jackmandoo: Whenever you lose to a kingside attack with a knight on a some corner square like that it's time to make some hot coco, curl up on the couch under a lamp and read out loud one of your favorite "Home And Garden" issues because MAN, that always makes me feel good. Ya know?
