Jan-20-05  piteira8: I don't like 12. ... b6. It seals off the black queen in a tiny portion of the board. After that move, the queen stuck out like a sore thumb. Credit to Bruzon for making it look easy after that.
Jan-20-05  Resignation Trap: <pteira8> When I quickly played over this game, my initial reaction to 12...b6 was one of distrust as well. Had this been one of my games, I would have concentrated on the claustrophobic Queen as well. Bruzon did this and it ultimately led him to victory.
Jan-21-05  isolatedpawn: Bruzon played this game extremely well. Look at the way how he activated his Light-squared Bishop. Passive play from Short and nice play from Bruzon. He deserved to win.
