  FSR: Gajewski obviously was banking that Belenkaya wouldn't be able to figure out over the board how to punish his rapacious king. Happily, she did.
Apr-02-23  dehanne: The king was drunk.
Apr-03-23  rwbean: 15... ♔g6? is just disrespecting the opponent - severely punished.

  perfidious: Black, no mean tactician in his own right, got himself in difficulties grabbing a hot pawn; I rather doubt he was being 'disrespectful' of his opponent.

<got himself in difficulties grabbing a hot pawn>

6...cxd4 is the most common move in the database, typical of an Open Sicilian. Black outperforms White from this position.

9...Bxe4 leaves Black better.

There are no other captures of White pawns. The bellicose Black king does capture a BISHOP and a KNIGHT.

Once again, we are fed a lame post by the lazy <perfidious> who does not bother to analyze the game he is commenting on. Wasn't it yesterday that the self-promoting perfidious flaunted a "Morphy 4" status on the Stewart Reuben page? In fact, editor perfidious has previously stated to his pal that he does not bother to REPLAY some games that he comments on. Our ever-present cyberbully simply enjoys being disagreeable, harassing other members with negative commentary.

15...Kg6? is the astonishing move ("completely insane" -- GM Nakamura) leading to Black's demise, as correctly pointed out by longtime member <rwbean>. Instead, centralizing 15...Re8 would have maintained equality.

Watching a provided game link of analysis by highly regarded chess streamers was also too much to ask. perfidious proves himself to be the very definition of <'disrespectful'> to members.
