Nov-30-05  simsan: Enjoyable game. Maybe Magnus can get a similar result in round 4 of the FIDE World Cup?
Nov-30-05  simsan: I did of course mean round 3...
...and I guess we're not quite there yet.
Dec-13-05  notyetagm: Funny how Magnus' queen's bishop sits on its home c8-square for 36 moves and then jumps to g4 (37 ... ♗g4+) and the game is over.
Mar-09-09  southeuro: a sick game
