Oct-10-18  Albanius: A fantastic attack against a strong GM.
"Premature" h4 has become fashionable;
this game is a textbook example of why.

16..f5 was the losing move according to stockfish on the chess24 site, but W was already better.

Nov-21-21  SirChrislov: Thank you Ian, I beat a 2000 player in rapid otb using Nf3, e3, Qb1, h4, g4, etc. inspirational effort thanks to this game. I�m rooting for you at Dubai 2021
Nov-22-21  CaliWest: What's wrong with 24...Rxf2+ ?

25. Kxf2 Qf6+

and the game doesn't seem beyond hope to me...

Nov-22-21  CaliWest: Ah, well I guess because white would play Kg1 and not take the rook
