  IMlday: 9.a3 is a typo for 9.a4.

  Domdaniel: <IMlday> - < 9.a3 is a typo for 9.a4.> Makes sense. I'd wondered about that a3 pawn. Presumably Black's 30th is ...Nbxa4.

The cage around Suttles' King after 30.Nc6 is beautiful.

  Domdaniel: 9.a3 is also found in the Chessbase/Fritz db, but it's clearly wrong. The sequence 9.a4 b4 10.Nd1 a5 makes sense: with 9.a3, it's absurd. And with a3, both players apparently ignore many chances to take a pawn on a3/b4.

Aug-31-13  docbenway: I've played over hundreds of games in the BO6 line (Adams!) and am amazed how varied the games can be. Another one in the Bent Larsen vein-"All white's pieces are attacking."

  NM JRousselle: I must be honest. I don't think I would have considered 30 Nc6!!
Apr-02-23  phantasmagorium: What a combination.

30. Nc6 - I would not have seen it coming at all. Even after that move, I still did not understand how it would win. Then, the subsequent moves come and suddenly Black is doomed.

With this combination, this game would be a worthy Game of the Day, IMVHO.
