Feb-08-05		maoam: An amusing miniature mentioned at http://www.ex.ac.uk/~dregis/DR/Prax.... I don't know how modern theory regards 4.g4, but surely 4...h6 was a sensible preventative move?

Apr-08-06		suenteus po 147: <maoam> Yes, 4...h6 at least wouldn't have hurt considering how quickly the position fell apart anyway. My absolute favorite move in terms of hilarity is 13.0-0! which looks crazy with such a safe and secure queenside waiting, but Savielly knew well the attack must press on! 15.Qf4 is crushing in light of the mating threat on two squares. Only by a sac of king's bishop and knight followed by a queen exchange could Mieses prevent the loss.

Apr-09-06		Kangaroo: Since my early chess childhood there are two variations imprinted in the memory <A <1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. g4 h6 5. h4 d5 6. g5 hxg5 7. Bxg5>> and Black is slightly better. <B <1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. g4 h6 5. h4 d5 6. Bh3 g5 7. hxg5 hxg5 8.Bxg5 Bxg4>> and Black is much better. Poor Jacques Mieses did not read the book by Mark Taimanov !

Nov-25-07		papynchase: After Black's 9th move, Emanuel Lasker comments: "B-kt 2 is likewise of no avail. The points QB2 and K4 are weak, P-KR4-KR5 threatens also, the KP cannot be held in the long run. White has many pieces in play, Black none, at these odds everyone would like to play gambits."
