Arek, I can't see the pictures you're posting. I'm not sure why - can someone advise?

Also, I suggest starting a new thread for your annotation - there may be lots of comments!

That game does look pretty crazy. Looking forward to the annotation!

Now, having some high level play to look at, let's try to revive the commentary... my goodness, almost 10 years have passed and I remembered like we commentated those yesterday.

I remember one day someone suggested a great tool for annotating games -> one that displayed a board but next to the board was a textarea to store a commentary related to each position. Does someone here remember the name of the tool or a link to it?

The format like above in this thread is pretty inefficient, especially that the forum support for embedding images is... unclear.

I believe you're thinking of http://www.hexmaster.net/
Sadly it looks like that website is no longer online.

If you wanted to comment some games I can typeset them and put them up on my website. I would love to have some games commented by experts.

I can typeset them

I can do the work myself if you explain what's the required format. If you just host it with your website it would be fantastic!

Thanks HappyHippo for reviving also the earlier game that I commentated 5 years ago!

Now that we have computer analysis I find that game a great example of how clueless we are at every stage of the game. To my eye it seems a very interesting and well-played game by both sides. The engine instead is laughing at it, finding every single move to be an error or a blunder. Even as late as several last moves we keep exchanging "the win" being unable to calculate til the end... :)
