"@ greco's m8: I simply don't get 4 f5?"

Without an escape square, Black will be mated in 1 (Qh7 or Qh8). 4.f6 blocks in Black's own Queen, so 4.f5 is more logical since it also allows 3 pieces to use the f6 square. It Black's only reply to extend the game a few more moves.

"How can I get a download?"

I'm not sure there's a way to download, but if you click on the bottom left corner of each board on the button "FEN/PGN," the pgn with the fen position appears and can be copied and pasted into notepad and saved as a pgn, or pasted into winboard or any other application that allows it, and saved in that manner.

Parts one and two of this article are pretty much essential, nice that they are all put neatly in the same place.

Good to keep these in mind. I guess this topic should be in the Articles submenu also.
