  GrahamClayton: Interesting opening which changes from a Bishop's Gambit to a Kings Gambit Accepted.
Mar-31-16  schnarre: ...Don't see the McDonnell Double-Gambit very often these days.
Mar-31-16  RookFile: Not using a computer, but 22...Ne5 might have been a mistake. The knight is doing good work on f7. I think black should have activated his queen's rook.
Apr-01-16  schnarre: ...<RookFile> I'd have to agree!

  fredthebear: <sneaky pete> FTB came to the same conclusion. Black captured the wrong way. The White queen does not have a safe zwischenzug to get out of her pickle.
