  tpstar: I figured White's opening play had been thoroughly checked by computers (lol). Since Black's Knights found such fine outposts at d4 & c5, let's try 13. Bb5 next time, then maybe Nge2 & f3 to avoid ... e4 tricks. Another potential improvement is 16. cb ab since the tempting advances b4 & b5 & c6 didn't work.

tpstar-keypusher (GameKnot 8/18/05): 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4 d6 5. ed cd 6. Nc3 g6 7. Be3 Bg7 8. Rc1 0-0 9. b3 e5 10. de de 11. Qxd8 (begone, Queen #1) Rxd8 12. c5 N6d7 13. Bc4 Nc6 14.
