    I was just so impressed by this, that I thought I should share it. The comments are taken from Chessbase as well.

    Wow, that is impressive as hell! I completely expected black to be some famous  2700+ super GM.

    Wow, that was amazing, discouraging, even. Could I ever hope to play something like that in a live game? In the next 10 years maybe?

    Name of the player with the black pieces is Berzinsh,Roland, and his rating is 2424.

    Yeah, I was pretty surprised that these guys were not higher rated. It is suitably humbling I think. It's not quite up there with Fischer's queen sacrifice, but the depth of this, and the confidence to actually play it is really something.

    Glad you enjoyed it Smile
