  GrahamClayton: Amazing position after 7...♗g1, with two Black pieces surrounded in the corner of the board. 7..♗g1 is almost a problem-like move, blocking the Black Queen so that the double check can be played after 8.♗g2.
Mar-25-12  Infohunter: White thinks he can turn the tables on Black by trapping the latter's Queen after losing a Rook in this classic two-by-four trap, but Black shows him that he's got another think coming!
Jun-06-12  TheTamale: Bwahahaha! Thanks, <SamAtoms>, for including this in your game collection. Most amusing!

Feb-19-19  sea7kenp: Obviously, 3 fxe5 is the losing Move.
Feb-20-19  vonKrolock: After 6...♘h6

Now, playing 7.d4, with idea of ♗xh6, ♘c3, 0-0-0 and ♗g2, white would have a playable game (in spite of the whole Rook down in the diagram!)

<8.♗g2> A King sacrifice not likely to succeed...
