Apr-07-05		RookFile: This is a quite interesting and entertaining game.

Apr-07-05		jumperino: I agree...seems like Amant loses a tempo with 52 Ke5 ... if he had played 52 Ke6 directly, he might have been that needed step ahead.

Mar-07-08		Knight13: After 29. g4? White got killed. The rest was just a NASCAR race with White a few feet behind Black.

Jan-20-09		WhiteRook48: Great game by Staunton.

Feb-04-12		Knight13: 10. 0-0 is probably not the best. Judging by the position, 10. Qd2 followed by 0-0-0 would've been best. White can set up a powerful attack on the Kingside. Of course, it would be a bit helpful to not have played 8. a3, which only weakens the b3 square.
