You missed mate a couple 2 moves earlier with the same combination :)...other than that it was a nice game. I sorta like that bishop move as black if it means your king can't castle. Can someone explain what he is talking about when he says "h4"?
I think what he means is that rather than allowing the check 4... Bh4 he sometimes defends with the rook by moving the pawn forward.
I play the KG a lot in my games and yes I've read Bobby Fischers "Bust". It is still a viable weapon Bobby Fischer or not. Just as good as pretty much anything else except for maybe the Queens Pawn. I've noticed a lot of players playing the Cunningham Defense lately. I actually got beat by it not to long ago because it is not intuative to move your king and have it be the right move. I was playing h4 instead of kf1...and I'll say h4 is an interesting thought to be sure, but I haven't had much luck with it.
