Jan-20-07  wolfmaster: When Cochrane can get into tactical and sacraficial openings, he's a tough opponent.

  al wazir: I think that after 10...dxc4 11. Rxf7 Bxf7 12. d5 Bc5+ 13. Kh1 Ne7 I would rather have black.
Jan-23-07  Cyphelium: <al wazir> Possibly the slower approach 10.- dxc4 11. ♖xf7 ♗xf7 12. ♕g4!? is the way to play for white, for example 12.- ♘c6 13. c3 and then developing the bishop and the rook before advancing the central pawns.
Feb-27-07  zb2cr: I don't get it. Why not 14. ... Qxd5? Black's two pieces ahead and swapping the Queen makes White's attack stagger.

Apr-09-08  sallom89: i've seem crazy attackers and played against them, but never seen a player like that, its funny...good game.
Aug-27-08  dwavechess: I liked a lot this game, for me it seems very instructive. Rybka 2.3.2 at 14 ply likes cochrane's moves, 80% agreement.
Sep-09-08  dwavechess: 15/20 with Rybka 3 w32 15 ply!
Sep-09-08  dwavechess: for Cochrane
Sep-10-08  dwavechess: 15/20 with rybka 3 w32 at 3 minutes per move.
