First off, no ending is idiot proff. I screwed them all up at one point of another. a4 just seemed to give black too much space without enough of a counter balance.

Is there a way for the audience to post comments move by move?

Charles,

Instructive game. You really do show the flaw in White's a4 with pretty accurate queenside play.

Hi Brian,

There's no way for the readers to post comments move by move on the applet I'm using. I've been thinking of trying another applet, but I'm pretty sure the feature you're describing doesn't exist in any current program (at least, none of the ones I know of).
