yep ... and also 12. Nb5 seems more logical than the dubious 12. a3(?) ...
I believe that after this white are in a worst position. a5-a4 gains position
for black mainly because of the silly a3(?) ...

However, CTiger played this game very well ... infact after only 20 moves the
game was over! ;-) However, COMPS are not GMs. Not by a long shot! Just
performance in competitions is not my way of measuring the COMPS. It is given
that in a tournament most COMPS can cover a GM norm. This is not enough,
for me, to consider that COMP=GM ... For one the GM has a human aspect to it
and COMP does not! ;-)
