  FSR: Very impressive that the players played the Modern Gipslis Variation 19 years before Gipslis was born.
Nov-06-22  Granny O Doul: I don't know how much scrutiny the pun can stand, but I did laugh.

  perfidious: <FSR>, that is supreme talent.

<Granny>, the more so as the 'C' is silent.

Easily impressed? P Damiano vs NN, 1497 features a Kholmov gambit in 1497, over 4 centuries before Kholmov was born.
Nov-06-22  Brenin: <Granny, perfidious>: ... and I believe that the "j" is pronounced as "y", German style. Definitely a pun for the eye, rather than the ear.
Nov-06-22  goodevans: 16.Qe1 rather than 16.Qc2 so that if Black follows the same attacking plan it will be the Q rather than the R that comes to g1 on move 19. White would then be threatening 20.b4 as well as 20.Rxg7+.
Nov-06-22  Chesschronicle22: In my opinion, one of white's fatal mistake is probably 11.gxf3 that allows 15. Bg5 then after Qc2, Bf4 wich preassures the h2 pawn and after moves later white resigned (but black only has -0.21 advantage.)

I would have played a couple more moves
�*11...Qc8*�12.Rad1 Rd8 13.Qc2 Bf6 14.Qe4 Ne7 15.Qg4 g6 16.Ne4 Bg7 17.Ng3 Nf5 18.Nxf5 exf5 19.Qh4 Nd7 20.Rd2 Nf6 21.d5 Nh5 22.c5 f4 23.Bxf4 Qf5 24.Bxc7 Rxd5 25.Rxd5 Qxd5 26.Rd1 Qxc5 27.Bd6 Qc6 28.f4 Rc8 29.Bxh5 gxh5 30.Qxh5�

Dec-06-23  Stolzenberg: <9. Be3> was solid and cautious, but 9. d5 exd5 10. cxd5 Nb4 11. Qd4 would have been more active.

<10. Qd2> was not the best move. 10. b3 (protecting c4) Bf6 11. Ne4 would have been better.

Instead of <12. Rad1> White shoud have considered 12. f4, preventing 12. ... e5.

<14. Bxb6>: Here again 14. b3 would have protected c4.

<19. Rdg1?> was a terrible blunder, which lost immediately. 19. Bd3 was necessary instead.
