| unixfanatic: 18. ... Qg6!! would have been a lot better. 19. Qf3 (any other move is forced mate) Bg4! 20. Rg1 Qa6 and Black is devastating White. And yes, I did find this with the aid of a computer, so I still find the grandmaster's play amazing and brilliant. The possible move is ... |

| unixfanatic: It seems White would have been a lot better off after 16. Bxb4. Then 16. ... Qxb4 17. c3 and after whatever Black does next 18. Nxf5; doesn't this give White a better position? |

| |
| unixfanatic: This game is such a classic example of how pathetic computers can be in closed positions - it's quite surprising how in certain positions or openings (King's Indian Defense is a good example) long pawn chains can really overwhelm even the most clever of the silicon beasts! |

| unixfanatic: Hmmm, interesting. 35. ... Qxd7? is a mistake. 35. ... Qd1+ and the game is over; it's forced mate. |

| unixfanatic: I'm astounded Fritz was so weak in this game; even for 1991 this is not very good for a computer. Good thing this guy didn't play Rybka! |

| unixfanatic: Greed - a mistake often made in chess. It's amazing how if you tempt someone with something they almost always will go after it, even if it's fairly obvious they'll suffer for it. |
