rookbj: How come Black castled to the queenside on 13...0-0-0 rather than castle to the kingside at 13...0-0? Is there a danger involved after kingside castling or is the queenside safer? |

rookbj: Why did White capture the rook after 23...Rxb4+ with his Queen on 24. Qxb4? He could have just done 24. Kc1 to get out of check and prevent his Queen being traded? What was going on with him? |

rookbj: Isn't it mate in two after 10... Kf7 with 11. Bb4 and then 12. Qf8#? |

rookbj: How come White didn't play 42. Rd7+? That looked like a extremely safe move, or am I overlooking something? |

rookbj: What was the idea of playing Qxd4 to capture a pawn when Black played Nc6 and attacked the Queen?? That's a 1 for 9 deal!!! On White's next move, instead of moving the Queen, he played Bb5, leaving the Queen wide open to a capture. It just doesn't make sense. |
