Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-01-14  Ke2: Finegold employs a weird delayed Alapin to suffocate the kid who was around 13 I think. He lashes out and there's not much to show for it.

5... g6 is passive and scores pretty poorly, the crude 5... d5 is needed. But some of this stuff can be avoided with the alternative 4... Bg5.

That h3 move is really annoying. Kind of like Carlsen - G Jones.

Oct-08-15  st.dvy: Truff sacrifices the exchange for a meaningless pawn; yet loses by 4 pawns and the exchange with a pin. This is grandmaster play?
Oct-08-15  King Radio: Not a good game, but Troff was only a master when this was played, I believe.
Mar-11-19  myhilarioususername: Ke2, The engine agrees with you, but believe it or not g6 is the most popular move.
Mar-11-19  myhilarioususername: Troff made the right moves sacrificing but his follow up wasn't that great.
