Mar-10-09		jon01: Highly notable game for Sanan Sjugirov. It's not often we see such a confident attack which begins with a bishops's sacrifice on move 9.

Mar-10-09		Billy Vaughan: What a bruising attack! Poor Loek must've been twitching in agony for hours thereafter.

Mar-10-09		cionics: Man, Sjugirov came out swingin'!

Mar-11-09		Andrijadj: Preparation...It is obvious...

Mar-11-09		KARPOVian: Sjugirov is in a hot streak here after beating Ivan Cheparinov,Predrag Nikolic and now Loek Van Wely!wohhooo!Russia has a new star!!!

Mar-11-09		Raskolnikov: Looks like Katja Lahno has done her homework :) To watch on www.russianchess.org/online/ against Bodnaruk.

Mar-11-09		parmetd: Loek's Qa5 move iscurious... Why not Qb6 immediately?

Mar-12-09		OneArmedScissor: What a game...

Mar-13-09		notyetagm: Great win for Sjugirov.

Nov-07-09		GrahamClayton: <parmetd>Loek's Qa5 move iscurious... Why not Qb6 immediately? Parmetd, 10...b6 would stop 12.d6, so maybe White was thinking of 12.d5 instead?
