Mar-12-03  Rookpawn: White seems to have forgotten about his own passed h-pawn.
Sep-05-04  Knight13: I got nothing to say about this game.
Sep-05-04  Giancarlo: <knight13>
Must you then say smething even if you have nothing to say?????
Sep-05-04  iron maiden: <Giancarlo> Don't even bother asking; I think you're the only one here who doesn't have him on "ignore."
Sep-05-04  Giancarlo: I'm giving it one last try <Iron Maiden>, see The Kibitzer's Café
Sep-05-04  Knight13: <Gaincarlo> Last try? Sure. You can put me on your ignore list. It's your chioce. Not mine.
Dec-05-05  Chess Clasics: <Putting Knight13 on ignore list> Yeah, but his avatar is soooooo cute!

The next step is to learn from your own mistakes as well; the sixth and most common mistake... :D

Sep-01-11  DieHard: I think the game is interesting. Philidor's Bd6-Bc7 and d7-d6 are suggestive of ideas in the Closed Ruy.
Nov-15-11  AnalyzeThis: You're right, DieHard. Objectively, in this specific position, the Bd6 and Bc7 idea is too time consuming, but in general, it's an interesting strategic idea.
Jul-14-16  juanhernandez: a gift game !!!
