Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-10-03  Rookpawn: If 6... Qxe4 then 7. Bxc6+ followed by the loss of the e- pawn. The pawn obviously cannot take the Bishop on move 7 because of the threatened forking check on c6.
Jul-20-05  Calli: Steinitz fails to point out White's weak 22.Rd1?? Better is 22.Re1 and the game looks okay. Therefore, Steinitz is right earlier. White should have played 19...Qh3.
Sep-08-08  Sem: I see 20 ...Qe5 as a beautiful move.
