Mar-14-09  wordfunph: Happy Birthday po Sir!
Mar-15-09  nanobrain: Sir Caturla, dun sa page ng Rohde v. Caturla may mga unggoy na nagdidiskusyun kung papa-ano kayo natalo [time forfeit ba?] kasi hindi naman completely lost yung position nyo.

Also, maaari bang matanong ko kung bakit 15...Re8 ang itinira nyo after 15.f5. Bakit hindi 15...b4? Parang lalamang kayo ng pawn dito di ba?

Wordfunph, hindi kaya katulad na rin ito nung kliyente ko na si Ruben Reyes na wala na ring paki-alam sa chess?

<nanobrain> yes, 15...b4 is ok but 15...gxf5 is the best based on 2 minutes analysis of engine ahehe!

Mar-16-09  nanobrain: <wordfunph> pls ask the engine, 15...b4, 16.Nbi, why not 16...Bxe4? Di ba pawn up ang black?
