  Richard Taylor: Good game! A bit on the nose to do that to your brother though!
Jan-13-14  john barleycorn: Edward Reigns. Makes me forget the patzer Fischer.
Aug-20-19  goodevans: Assuming these guys are from the same family then the propensity to shuffle pieces back and forth along the lines of <6...Nge7/7...Ng6/9...Nge7> seems to be a bit of a family trait. I count at least half a dozen examples.

It seems to have worked for Edward with <6.Nf3/9.Ng5/16.Nf3/24.Ng5>. Timothy came out of the opening with the better position but was somehow beguiled into 'castling into it' after which things slid steadily downhill.

Aug-20-19  Ironmanth: Nice game; relentless pressure. Thanks, chessgames!
