Nov-01-10  Whitehat1963: What a beautiful Wednesdayish puzzle after 33. Rad1. Excellent game from a pair of under-10s!
Oct-25-12  Abdel Irada: [Stares at board with madly avid eyes and drooling elan]: Liiiight squares!

That's what Ray Robson's king said.

Apr-21-14  GumboGambit: I know, CG.com users would have a field day picking apart the blunders, probably after consulting chess engines of course. But still, at times it seems like its like a couple of eight year olds playing this game. . . . . .

  HeMateMe: Just for us old sci fi guys...
Jul-01-23  goodevans: I thought Robson played the opening well and after 14 moves I much preferred White. Robson pushed a couple of pawns, Hou responded by pushing her own and after 5 more moves the position was transformed. Now I preferred Black.

The 20...h5 sac was terrific, opening up files against White's K to add to the laser on the a8-h1 diagonal. I certainly didn't see it coming. SF here recommends 20...Rd7 but if you show it the sac it goes "Yeah, that's actually better".

The ending was very beautiful. But then again, no need to get too excited: It's just a game between a couple of kids.

  OhioChessFan: <nalinw>, "Danger Will Robinson" was an iconic, often mocked line in the cheesy TV series "Lost in Space."
