  OhioChessFan: Wow. Hard to believe how devastating e4 was!
Aug-04-09  Luckyicekiller: The comment on move 15 ("Ne5 would please us better") is really creepy. Or maybe that's just because it's so late.

  plang: Already, 3 Bf4 was new. This is the only game where 4..Nf6 was played. Certainly an unusual opening as after 7 moves Black has made 3 moves with his king knight and 2 moves with his d-pawn (of course, White has made 3 moves with his queen bishop). Aa Nimzovich pointed out a normal White reaction to the black knight on e4 would have been to prepare f3 a bit earlier than in the game. The finale was unexpectedly violent after such a quiet setup.
