 | | Everett: A queen for a rook and paired, passed, center-pawns on the fifth rank. Worth it! |

Feb-21-19 | | luzhin: Great Q sac, but the counter-sac 29...Rxa2!! seems good for a draw. The first new move in the game was 18...Rc6 (an improvement on 18...Rf8, played by Yu Yangyi against Karjakin in 2015.) |

 | | Penguincw: 10...Bb4+. 11.Ke2 is the only move that's ever been played here, per the database. Opening Explorer Of course, this is a reason why, as other moves are inferior, but always shocking to see a king move in the opening for the first time. (just like V Gunina vs Z Abdumalik, 2019) |

Feb-21-19 | | FairyPromotion: Hmmmmm, upon replaying the game I noticed the great contrast in the name length these two have. GotD: Make a Long Story Short |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Another brilliant pun! Also, surprised myself to learn how much theory and how many games exist in the 11.Ke2 variation. Rather wild stuff. |

 | | RoseMei: I think this game is a record holder on chessgames.com. This game is a world record for the biggest difference in length between the names of the players. "Wei Yi" (only 5 letters long) vs. "Alexandr Hilario Takeda dos Santos Fier" (I count 34 letters long). :) |

People with aristocratic names… Kieseritzky already has 42 letters the way it's given here (mind the cyrillic) and it's not necessarily his full name - and not necessarily aristocratic. |

'Flush' is pronounced 'Flush' which is what I'm doing to this game title right now |
