Oct-01-14  Bycotron: HAIL!!! What an incredible battle! Every move was made with power, to draw blood and send the opponent back, but neither contestant would surrender an inch!!

This is one of the most beautiful games I've discovered in a very long time. I look forward to studying its depth and wealth of ideas!

Oct-01-14  Bycotron: A very interesting stage is set on move 20, black's advanced knight on f4 and bishops trained on white's kingside may have inspired him to play 21...Kh8, intending to follow with f5 and launch a big attack against the white monarch!

However, this never happens and with very accurate play white is able to use the black king's presence on h8 to white's advantage. Without the aid of a computer and without time for deep thought and analysis yet, it seems to me that 21...Kh8? may have been the critical error in this contest.
