A very interesting news article indeed. Published annotated games by the player(s) themselves are good methods for other players to learn from and possibly improve a part of their own game.

Thank you so much David for having Dan print these games. It's good that you put yourself out there. I also like having my games online as this gives my opponents a better oppertunity to try and defeat me which in turn strongly motivates me to play harder so that I can stay on top of my game. Everyone wins. Roger

That first draw vs. the Caro
Kan of Kudrin's is fascinating.
