Dec-10-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: Yes 21.Rac1 is no good,21.Bg5 then.
Dec-10-06  kevin86: Happy Birthday/Anniversary! A really exciting game. Two pieces and a rook are usually better than a queen,but in this case,the mate threats offer more than adequate compensation.

Looks to me that they offer precisely adequate compensation.

Apr-18-09  WhiteRook48: White's initials are AAA. How did those map guys get in here?

Interesting game! The very asymmetric position at ca. move 20 makes it difficult to evaluate.

W would seem to have a clear edge but can easily go wrong. As already posted, 21 Rac1 is tempting but the R exchange helps B. In such positions it's probably best for W to keep things solid (a-pawn defended and the R's coupled. Be3 is then a natural move which keeps the onus on B to make something hapen. Be3 played a bit later but only after the W position was already weakened.

Engine gives 21 Be3 as best but stil Bd2 OK if followed by 21 ... Rc2 22 Be3. 22 Rac1 was a mistake.

Dec-10-16  The Kings Domain: Good game, it's nice to know the webmaster's a fine Chess player in his own right.

  Richard Taylor: Good game. I got caught out by this line of the Scandinavian. After 3... Bg4 I went wrong I think that either 4. Bb5+ or 4. f3 are better than what I played...

I think from memory that 4. f3 is best but 4. Be3 also looks o.k.

Sad to remember that Alberto is not now with us all.

Dec-10-16  paavoh: Congratulations <Chessgames.com> !!

Dec-10-16  Robyn Hode: The Portuguese line is barely playable in the Age of Engines. f3/g4 is brutal.

Congrats and thanks to Daniel and Albert (R.I.P.) for founding and keeping this site going: hard work, great job.
