  Korora: A little early to say.
Jan-12-21  Sokrates: A highly entertaining game. Praise to both sides! Funny that McShane had ample opportunities to kill Bb3, but when he finally did, it was too late.
Jan-12-21  spazzky: By move 14 the board was on fire. McShane is a cowboy name and it shows in his play!
Jan-12-21  savagerules: Entertaining to say the least. If Morphy was alive today this would be the kind of game he'd be playing, with either side. The fast time limits do make for some crazy games which wouldn't happen otherwise.
Mar-28-21  0ZeR0: Despite the loss, I quite like what McShane tried to do here. A very entertaining game indeed.

Mind you, despite Black's shenanigans all 32 black units were still on the board.

Not the best game of 2021.

Over extended pawns are bad. Isolated pawns are bad. The bishop pair is good. Connected rooks are good. Control of the center is good. Connected passed pawns are real good. Easy win for White. Learn more here: https://www.amazon.com/Importance-P...
