Very educational game!

coooool

nice game

Thanks for your comments Mark and congratulations on a nice game!

It should be mentioned that 10. Rd1?? is a nice trap.  After 10...Bc2! hitting the rook, there are now two threats - to the rook and Nb6 trapping the white queen!  This is how young future GM Maxim Dlugy lost to NM Alan Williams at the Bar Point Chess Club (Manhattan, W 10 St) in the early 1980s.  The 10. Bf4!? move is a nice idea I got from FM Tom Bartell, Tom played it at the Angelo Young Touch Move Chess Center FIDE International Chicago 2008.  I was playing there and saw the game first hand.

Later, 15...Qb6 is not a safer choice.  This is where we see the point of Bf4.  After Nc4! that knight eyes both d6 and a5.  Since a rook cannot get to b8, this spells initiative for white.

Very informative. I really liked the comments on each move.

Very nice, loved the commentary

Most enjoyable game.  And the commentary was most helpful and instructive.  Many thanks indeed.

Indeed!

If it is a Ginsberg game he  must be beating up on an expert or weak master , oh and after his "masterpiece" he withdrew as he usually does.

Good game

BEASTIOS!!!

Interestingly, Ginsburg doesn't mention this game in his blog: http://nezhmet.wordpress.com/

I disagree with last warrior, I think this kind of annotation is great, it helps knowing exactly what each move is for. A good learning tool. This one helped me a lot with my black defense against d4, great game.

Nice game, however the full annotations are annoying, some seem fairly pointless, and I perfer less annotations so I know what is important to read.

This is just my opinion.

Great commentary as usual. Your efforts are appreciated week after week. Many thanks.

On move 30 why did black not play Nxb3?

Great commentary.  I feel like it is rare to see commentary on all the moves in a game, but I really enjoy seeing it as many times I do not necessarily understand all the moves that are made.
