  tamar: Quite an entertaining game. The jaw-dropping
19...♘xc1 looks impossible, but it is mate in 4 if Harrwitz grabs the unguarded ♕.

  tamar: If 20 ♖xc1 ♖xd4! 21 ♕f5+ ♘d7 22 cxd4 ♕xd4+ 23 ♔g3 g5 24 ♕g4 ♕e5+ 25 ♔h3 h5! with a huge advantage for Black. Checking with Fritz 7, it found the only defense 20 ♕f5+, before capturing the ♘, with advantage to White.
Oct-06-08  I Offer You A Resign: Is there an alternative to 11. Ng4 ? Or at least is there a way not to lose the pawn on f2?
Oct-06-08  YoungEd: score one for the end of the alphabet!
Jan-10-09  I Offer You A Resign: What's wrong with 11. f4... it seems okay.

There seems to be no black refutation - and so White can just continue his development with something like Nc3

Jun-01-11  squaresquat: 4.Ng5 is premature. White has nothing positionally to expect a lasting attack which will score. But with open lines, a lead in development and attacking tempos, white scores too. The inscrutable nature of chess?!

  FSR: What a gorgeous game!
Feb-22-15  TheTamale: As Mike Goldberg would say of Zytogorsi: "Man, that dude is VIOLENT!"
