Lieven,

You are correct Sir. Nemeth's attack is an unsound one. Kasparov would ream him
a new "you know what" if Nemeth played like this. Hiarcs 8.0 even on my slow PII
333 chose g7-g6 after a couple of seconds.  Mr. Nemeth appears to like blitz
chess in order to show his superiority over "dumb" programs.  His posts are
amusing however.
