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.

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.
