Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-10-10  cracknik: Wow, a lot of risky stuff in the opening but it looked like white had a good game.Then black's passer changed everything. Good game though.
Jun-10-10  Gilmoy: After <12..Re8> I thought Black got good two-way pressure on c4 and the hidden-pin on e. Black's QR sure accomplished more than White's <12.Bb2> ever did!

White blinked first with <14.cxb6> instead of recapturing on f1. It loses the 2-pawn bind on d6, enabling Black's thematic <14..d5> break vs. the Scotch. The <15.bxa7> zwieschenzug is cute, but fizzles out to a slow-motion exchange -- in fact, so weak that Black simply ignores it for the rest of the game, and hey, free tempo!

Jun-11-10  aragorn69: <The game went from a win to a loss in one move. White had 26.Rxc6! Qxc6 27.Rxc6 Kxc6 and now the black pawn looks unstoppable. But check out the great typo shot 28.Qxh7! and if the rook takes the queen the a-pawn queens with check and a winning skewer. Very cool.>
