hi uri,

i disagree with you here. if hsu writes...

"The published annotation gives 12. Bg5 Bg5 13. o-o as
+=, but white could play 13. h3 instead and white appears to have a simple
positional squeeze. "

...then his rating is not irrelevant. i didn't even look at that position, and i
have no idea whether his statement is true or not. but i certainly wouldn't
believe that kind of statement coming from an average 1600 player. if he had
some GM telling him this, fine. but if not, then his rating is relevant...

cheers
