Mar-08-06  zev22407: A fine game Judit gets a better ending,here pieces are co-ortdinate . And the active king and a passed pawn she wins the game.
Mar-26-21  Whitehat1963: Great exception to the general rule here with knight and pawns on both sides being better than bishop and pawns on both sides.

  Honza Cervenka: 14...Ba6 and 16...Nf4 were much better moves.
Jul-09-24  VerySeriousExpert: @Honza Cervenka
Dear Sir, I think, 14...Bb7 15.Qxb5+ Qxb5 16.axb5 Bxf2+ 17.Kxf2 Ng4+ isn't bad for Black.
Jul-09-24  VerySeriousExpert: Thank you for 16...Nf4 instead of "Greco's" [or "Jerome-ish"] simple 16...Bxf2+ 17.Kxf2 Ng4+.
Jul-09-24  VerySeriousExpert: And I think, enough probably, White had an idea to meet 14...Ba6 with the calm 15.Nf3.

Jul-09-24  VerySeriousExpert: Someone can ask: "Why is it "Greco's" blow?" Here is one of G.Greco's oldest games with this blow: https://jeromegambit.blogspot.com/2... . It is with commentaries by Yury Bukayev .

  Breunor: Stockfish gives 14 Ba6 best for black with a half pawn lead after 15 Nf3.

a superb idea! alternately, cream cheese, onion, and tomato on a toasted bagel works too!

Well, after 14...Bb7 white should have played rather 15.Nf3 followed by 0-0 with slight edge, while 14...Ba6 x-raying the Queen equalizes the position at least. Of course, 15.Nf3 is a good move but 15...O-O 16.O-O bxa4 17.c4 a3 18.Bc2 Qb6 19.Bd3 Nb4 would have been better than that what black got in the game.
