Feb-11-25 Z Jasnikowski vs P Vezzosi, 1993
| |
| JimmyVermeer: Is there something wrong with the game score? For 4 turns White misses the obvious Bxb4, and then hangs his own bishop. And then Black resigns from a drawn position? Perhaps forfeited on time? |

Jul-25-24 Zzzzzz vs Joker, 2006
| |
| JimmyVermeer: For those questioning the game's classification as a "Normal Variation", it is White's 2nd move that constitutes the "Normal" variation. Black's 2nd move isn't so normal but it doesn't change what White did. |
