@Mitsun:
I'm not entirely sure what the rules/etiquette of Malkovich threads are, but as the black player I would at least appreciate it if you spoiler tagged any move suggestions for black (I want to avoid seeing suggestions that could influence my thinking). Thanks!

Oops, sorry, I meant to /hide/. Thanks Ed for fixing it.

It was nice to be able to read through the comments. I totally missed the early check threat W had with the bishop when I took the first pawn. Only one comment puzzled me:

Bill, would you mind explaining what I was wrong about? I might be able to figure out why I was wrong if I knew that much, but my only guess is I was wrong about being up another pawn? I don't see a way to get the pawn back for W, so I am clearly missing something if that's the case.

I think Bill meant that he was wrong in predicting the next move

Yes, I meant that I was wrong again. {sigh}

Thanks for clarifying! I was so puzzled, this makes much more sense!
