Dec-22-16 A Anastasian vs F Izeta Txabarri, 1996 
|
DrywallRickshaw: I saw Bh6, but would have continued with Nf7. Which still wins I believe, but not as cleanly as the Ng4! played in-game. |

DrywallRickshaw: Anyone see some of Nakamura's tweets during this?

DrywallRickshaw: Also, after our draw, Jude demolished me in a series of 5 minute games, and recommended some nice places for me to take my girlfriend. I also ended up lingering for maybe an hour talking chess politics/news/progames with him. Great guy. |
