  1. I love it; seriously, keep on with this short analysis, utterly instructive!

  2. Lovely game, great commentary as always! Note on pronunciation: The first consonant of 'Giuco' is pronounced like j in English (that is: 'juco'). If it were gyu-co, it'd be spelled 'ghiuco'.

  3. Thx KingCrusher superb analysis as usual! Just the Microphone seems to saturate from time to times.
