Mar-23-20  Ulhumbrus: 6...Bc5 invites 7 Nxe5

One justification for 10 Bg5 is that Black has removed his king's bishop from the h4-d8 diagonal. One question is whether Black can get away with the moves ...h6 and ...g5 or whether White can answer the move ...g5 with Nxg5

  An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Looks like a trap after 19...Bf5. 20.Qxa7,Nc5; 21.Rxe8+,Qxe8; 22.Qxc7,Nxb3 because if White protects or moves the Bishop, 22....Qc8 followed by 23...Ra8 seems to checkmate the Queen.
Mar-25-20  Nazim12: Why white missed 31 Qh6 for checkmate ?
Mar-26-20  Elbajacisback: Hi Nazim12, if 31 Qh6 then 31..Qe5 is the clever refutation!
Mar-12-21  Messiah: A very good, highly complicated game. The Spanish almost never fails to amaze me: what a vast spectrum of pawn configurations are producible with it!
