| alkabiades: Can somebody explain:
1 - 25.g4? It looks like a weak move that would create problems on the kingside. 25...b3? What is the point of this pawn sacrifice? to open the b square for the rooks? is it worth the sacrifice? |

| alkabiades: Can someone explain 14...Nd7? It seems like in the next move black is going to lose a pawn on d6 (15.bxd6). Why white did not play that move? |

| alkabiades: i think there must be a prohibition to the parties to play 1.e4 e5. while they play shuch moves, you can be sure this game is going to be a dead draw. |
