time
(when Sharon's clock fell, Bobby could have just taken the kight
with his bishop and win material)
1) gives black play using the knight file with a rook, with a
bishop at g7 attacking the b2 pawn
2) Bf4 just cramps black and stop him/her from developing easily
3) forced if back wants to get play
4) if Qb6 Nc3, Bc6 Na4, Qb4 Bf4, Rb7 Rfc1, and white has
developed and is okay
5) going for Bxc6 but is notorious. Qb6 threatens Ng4

(1) tension, Bb7 is a little better move and doesn't commit; and
if the exchange happens, the c file is
open.
(2) Bh4 keeps tension and sacks a pawn for lots of compensation
(3) e3 is stronger
(4) Nd6 threatening Nc5
(5) trading isn't good; c5 might be better
(6) g3 plan is possible
(7) Qxg2
(8) positional blunder
(9) bad; the opening became Benoni (pawn structure) so knight
belongs there
(10) Bf6 also good
(11) bad; f4 strong
(12) wrong; Qe8 superior
(13) bring king over; has quick win
(14) Rb3 Ra3 black wins
(15) g4 for white is better
(16) Kb1 followed by Ka1 and b8(Q) wins
