Aug-09-04		chesscookie: great game!

Oct-25-04		sandyobrien: great game? pretty bad, even for the 1880's

Nov-10-04		TheGreatNN: Great game after about move 23, anyway.

Jul-09-05		offramp: It is after move 39 that the game gets really interesting. I think that white was just lucky; I think he played some moves with no idea they were the only moves.

Jul-09-05		fgh: Interesting endgame, but definitively not a flawless game.

Sep-02-10		GrahamClayton: Position after 43..h1= click for larger view "At this stage MacLeod examined the position for 1 hour and 10 minutes and then produced a combination which he consummated with the masterly rapidity of Zukertort, the deadly endgame accuracy of Blackburne, and the grace and perfection of Morphy. Applause followed, and a noted chess player among the audience at once presented the lad with a handsome gold pin. Sam Loyd, the prince of problem composers, described it as the finest endgame of the tournament. MacLeod was about 18 at the time." "Brisbane Courier", Saturday, 23 September 1911, page 15.
