- Now it is my turn to make a serious
- blunder. This was the worst game
- that I
- played all day. The temperature in
- the tournament hall was about 80 and
- I was
- feeling sleepy. I only looked at
- the prospect of Bh8 g5 trapping my
- bishop
- forever. So I decided to give up
- the bishop instead of playing the
- more
- logical Bh6. I had figured that I
- would be 2 pawns up, so what is the
- worry?

- threates on d6.
