Dec-03-10  ICCM Bart Gibbons: What a wild game! After White offered the knight sacrifice on move 12, he asked the TD what the brilliancy prize was. After I captured his knight, he thought for a while, then offered a draw!
Oct-11-11  JohnBoy: Bart: this game makes it look like you could have survived 15...gf6 Any thoughts on the game after 35 years to think about it?

  GrahamClayton: 15...gxf6 16. ♕h5+ ♔g7 17. ♕xd5 ♗d7 or 15...gxf6 16. ♕h5+ ♔e8 17. ♖e1+ ♔e8 seem to hold for Black. I would be interested in Bart's analysis of this position.
Jan-10-14  Bartacus: In response to the 2 comments about ...15 gf6, I would probably have been better off. It doesn't look like White has enough compensation.
