Jun-13-08		notyetagm: A great Black Queen's Indian win.

Jul-17-08		Hugin: I like to call this game the Trojan Horse 18..Ne4 20..Nc5 and 22..Nb3 tied up ouer opponent so much, he could hardly move Other important moves was the idea with 17..f4 24..Bc4 and 25...Qf7 27..Qf7 keeping f-line and G8 -A2 diagonal covered. But the Knight standing on b3 really got him..

Aug-11-08		classF: J Dufek vs A Nickel, 2007 GM Nickel played 13...Ba3, the move I wanted to play.

Jan-15-09		WhiteRook48: hmm. Great game by the world.

Jan-25-09		WhiteRook48: can't they get more technology than that dancing Rook?

Jan-30-09		LIFE Master AJ: Only 837 pages of kibitzing? I wonder how long it will take me to read all that?

Jan-30-09		Whack8888: A quick Question: The 12...f5 was orgainlly an ideas by Karpov, right? If I remember correctly, it was somewhat rare when we played it but either Karpov had some analysis or maybe even a game or something with it. Werle - Hou Yifan Corus 2009 is following the opening but Hou Yifan changed with 13...Bd6 instead of the World's 13...Rc8. The game is going on as I post this, so we will just have to wait and see how it all turns out!

Jan-30-09		whiteshark: <Whack8888: A quick Question: The 12...f5 was originally an ideas by Karpov, right?> I'm not that sure about it... Games Like Y Shulman vs The World, 2007 but at least we left the well trodden, drawish path of 12...c5.

Jan-30-09		Whack8888: <Whiteshark> Thanks for the clarification, I had only vague recollections so it is entirely possible they are completely wrong.

Jan-30-09		classF: <Whack8888> This might be the first game with 12...f5: [Site "Daugavpils"] [Date "1978.??.??"] [White "Sturua,Zurab "] [Black "Kudriashov "] 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. c4 b6 4. g3 Ba6 5. b3 Bb4+ 6. Bd2 Be7 7. Bg2 O-O 8. O-O d5 9. Ne5 c6 10. Bc3 Nbd7 11. Nxd7 Nxd7 12. Nd2 f5 13. Rc1 Qe8 14. Re1 Nf6 15. Bb2 Bd6 16. f3 Qg6 17. e4 Bb4 18. e5 Nd7 19. f4 Rac8 20. a3 Be7 21. b4 Rfd8 22. b5 Bb7 23. Qa4 a6 24. cxd5 exd5 25. bxc6 Bxc6 26. Rxc6 Rxc6 27. Bxd5+ Re6 28. Qb3 Nf8 29. Rc1 Kh8 30. Nf3 Qh5 31.

Jan-30-09		Gypsy: <WhiteRook48: can't they get more technology than that dancing Rook?> Hey, I like that dancing rook!

Feb-25-09		WhiteRook48: Oh, is that because the dancing rook is your avatar?

Nov-22-09		The Chess Express: <LIFE Master AJ: Only 837 pages of kibitzing? I wonder how long it will take me to read all that?> LOL!

Aug-13-11		Nullifidian: I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned that this game is featured in the current (August 2011) issue of Chess Life.

Aug-13-11		hms123: <Nullifidian> Here's the link to the Chess Life article (see pages 32-35): http://content.yudu.com/A1t744/Ches...

Nov-09-11		Shams: <OCF> has some clever verse published in that article. Glad I clicked through, I somehow missed that piece... inexplicable as usually I devour Chess Life cover-to-cover...
