 | | Once: <newzild> Agree about the annotations. I enjoyed them much more than the rather artificial and unconvincing opening play by both players. CG - minor typo on the note to move 6: "sheme" should be "scheme". |

 | | Morten: I thought that on 20...Ra8 21.Qb3 bxa6, the intention was 22. Qb7 picking up the bishop on c7. Does that not work according to Rybka? Small "translation" error on the note to the 19th move. The reference to Be2 should be to Be7. |

29. ... Nh8 30. Qc6+ Kd8 (forced) 31. d5 looks very strong for White Also if 29 ... Ke7 30. Qc6 Qf6 31. Qa4 and again it would be difficult for Black in practice... I would say. of if 30.... Bxg3 31. d5 and Black is struggling |

 | | kevin86: In the middle of summer it is hard to think of the dead of winter. It reminds me of a story about a tourist who came to Chicago during the 1988 heat wave,when it was 105 degrees. He asked a resident ,"Is it always this hot here?"-My response would have been: "Sure,come back in six months or so,and we'll go to the beach". lol |

Aug-09-08 | | Boomie: Maybe Fine chose a goofy opening to conceal his intentions for later rounds. This was round 7 of 14 and Winter was arguably the weakest player in the tournament. See <Hesam7's> fine compilation at Game Collection: Nottingham 1936 |

 | | plang: The line with ..Bf5 and Nh4 was rarely played in those days. It became fashionable around 2000. Included in Fine's book of best games though there is really not much to it. |

May-11-22 | | mainechess: Modern analysis has suggested that Alekhine's recommendation of 12...g5 does not give black a good initiative. It's hard to say as he didn't give more variations so we're not sure what he had in mind, but white can castle queenside and black won't be able to attack him there. If white stays on the kingside, i.e. 13.Be2 gxf4 14.exf4 Nd7 15.Qc2 Nf6 16.0-0 Qd7, black would have good play. However, 13.Qc2! Initiates a strong plan, i.e. 13...gxf4 14.exf4 f5 15.0-0-0! and white has obvious strategical advantages, while his king is now safe (the rook on d1 is excellently placed even, preventing a c6-c5 break). Instead, black's mistake was on move 10 as 10...Ne4 just ruins black's structure and creates problems, 10...Nbd7 or other developing moves should be preferred while 10...Bb4! is strongest (for example: 11.Qb3 Bxc3! 12.bxc3 Nbd7! 13.Qxb7 Ne4! 14.Bg2 Nd6 15.Qxc6 Nxc4 and black is better despite the pawn deficit). |
