Apr-14-07  Ulhumbrus: Instead of 11 fxg5, 11 Bf2 threatens potentially Black's K on the Q side, after Black has weakened his King side
Apr-30-07  artemis: Check out the position after 20. Rxf7. White has a three pawn advantage, but all 7 of his pawns are isolated: doubled on the c file, tripled on the h file, and then the a pawn and the e pawn. This is the first time I have ever seen 7 isolated pawns and it is also the first time that I think I have ever seen tripled pawns on the h file.
Feb-27-08  dramas79: <scholes> Why not 28. Rxe6 for white?
Jun-18-08  grasser: 28.Rxe6 Bd5

27.cxd5 was a Blunder

27.Bxd5! Leaves White winning.
