| |
| PierreTheLion: @Once Mutterings?! Your kibitzing is half of the reason I play through these puzzles! We have a rather eloquent expression stateside about "Mutterings", one worthy of the Bard: "haterz gon hate." If all I wanted was potential lines for these games, I'd plug the position into ... |

| PierreTheLion: If there are any Simpsons fan on the kibbitz 17. Bxf7+ was McBain busting out of the ice sculpture and shooting up Mendoza's dinner party: "Eis to see you" |

| |
| PierreTheLion: I don't have a fancy analysis tool, or talent, but is 21...Re6 any good? After 22.Qh4 ...g5 it looks like it only loses the bishop, and prevents mate but I'm patzeriffic. Either way black's queen is woeful on a5, even I can see that. |

| |
| PierreTheLion: I am so excited about this game, for purely selfish reasons. 32. Kb3 was the move that stood out for me, and I'm ecstatic to see the indomitable Once talk about it, it makes me feel like I'm starting to see more nuances. <--1250 rating. |
