Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-23-04  panigma: He pins the knight and the black king is helpless. Good lord.
Sep-23-04  percyblakeney: Instead of 22. ... Kd8, black could have tried Ng6 followed by Nf8, and the loss ought to have been avoided.
Sep-23-04  Pawn Ambush: Yeah even if instead of 26....dc4,say 26....Be6 then 27.Bd3 intending to advance the connected h and g pawns should. In my oPINion the PIN is the most dangerous chess tactic and is responsible for more losses than any other tactic. Here another Ex.Schlechter vs Burn, 1906 I might do a games collection on instructive pins.
Dec-11-04  Zembla: The e6 pawn was a real bone in black's throat. Still, I think he could have tried harder to get hid Q-side pieces out, maybe with 20...Nc6. That would have lost a pawn, but he was going to lose one anyway.

  sleepyirv: There's nothing quite pinning a piece in the backrow. A rather direct comment on your opponent's development!
