  redlance: Great Job!!! Sam Sloan !!! Plays the Grob anywhere against anybody!!!!
Dec-22-19  Gallicrow: Nice game!
Dec-23-19  areknames: I don't like 9...Bxa1, no need to grab the exchange straight away, just keep the extra pawn. I like the unnecessarily weakening 10...f6 even less, the ugly looking 10...Rh7 seems preferable and Black's position is very solid. Once White breaks through with e5 the game is virtually over. The Grob is obviously unsound but in the right hands sometimes it can pose interesting problems. Entertaining game!
