Jan-16-05  Minor Piece Activity: Does this variation of the Ruy Lopez with 3...Nge7?! have a name?
Jan-16-05  quXa: I thought it was called the Cozio defense, don't know it for sure...
Jan-16-05  Minor Piece Activity: Thanks quXa, that sounds familiar, it's probably it.
Jan-16-05  chesscookie: What was the purpose of black's last move??
Jan-16-05  Minor Piece Activity: Monocao is typically a place where organizers choose to hold blindfold tournaments, this may be one of them but I'm not sure either.

  Phony Benoni: Since the game was hopelessly lost, the purpose of Black's last move was to allow promotion to a rook. Grandmasters have a sense of humor too, you know.
Mar-25-07  nimzo knight: Why is 41..Rh3 necessary ?

  dernier loup de T: nimzo knight: Black "saw" the threat 42.Nf1; more, I suppose Short wanted to stop the useless war on the "h" file and remove his queen, which before the Rook move had to protect it...
