Halkias-Aloma Vidal (Aix-les-Bains)
I wonder who wrote the comments to this game for the Chessbase site; they strike me as, well, not the most insightful/well-informed comments I've ever seen. A couple of examples: after 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc...

How about the Dragadorf Reversed?
When playing through the first moves of Anand-Topalov (11th game) I wondered how well Knight e4 would be placed on c4 instead. In other words, is a Dragadorf with colours reversed a viable idea?
