Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-22-05  azaris: Despite the neat little piece exchange trick, this position can be extremely sharp if Black declines to exchange queens. Don't you just hate it when you play into a sharp position and suddenly just lose the plot completely? Usually the opponent does too, leading to a real tragedy of errors.
