| May-08-17 | | zanzibar: <As regards the twentieth-century publication of the game, Mr Anderberg suggests the following as the likely historical sequence: ‘1. In old age Dufresne showed Harmonist this game, around 1890 – “an Anderssen loss”. 2. In 1902 Harmonist showed the game to Nimzowitsch (a student in Berlin) – “an Anderssen loss, handed down by Dufresne”. 3. Nimzowitsch published the game with the proviso that the players’ names were dubious. 4. Lasker removed all trace of doubt about the game’s authenticity. 5. Finally, Bachmann made up “Berlin, 1851?”.’
Toni Preziuso (Chur, Switzerland) also draws attention to Max Lange’s book Der Meister im Schachspiel and provides the relevant text from page 217:> C.N. 3888 |

| Sep-02-19 | | Ulhumbrus: In his book <A golden treasury of chess> I A Horowitz says of this game <It is difficult to imagine how one could concentrate more brilliancy, more inspired inventiveness, more sparkle into so short a game. Here is the distilled essence of the very best chess of the old masters : one thrill after another!> |

| | fredthebear: Greco's Mate on an open h-file occurs in the final position shown if White ACCEPTS the queen sacrifice with 14.RxQg5 hxg4+ 15.Rh5 RxRh5#. "Encyclopedia of Chess Wisdom" by Eric Schiller (This book is typically the source used for Wikipedia checkmate patterns that have spread like vines on the internet; the description wording is a match numerous times, including the "made-up" names that are not internationally recognized.) lists this game as Max Lange's Mate on pages 314-316, played between Anderssen and Lange in Bratislava 1859. <Sneaky pete> has provided the link to that game above. Do read <zanzibar>'s historical post on that game page. Black's queen sacrifice offer is DECLINED in the final position shown after 13...h5!. Following <FSR>'s post <14.gxh5 Qxf5 15.g4 Rxh5+! 16.gxh5 Qe4! 17.Qf3 Qh4+ 18.Qh3 Qe1+ 19.Kh2 Bg1+ 20.Kh1 Bf2+ 21.Kh2 Qg1#> This finish is a Max Lange's Mate, a Bishop-Supports-Queen mating pattern. It would certainly be a chess faux pas if Dufresne played and won the game, but the mating pattern was named after Max Lange. FTB suspects Mr. Schiller got this one right, and Max Lange is the originator. |

 | | sleepyirv: A great example of why you don't move the same piece twice in the opening. Nd4?! is a known skunk move in a couple variations after White recaptures with Nxd4, allowing rapid development after castling. But instead of that, White moves his developed bishop and gets stuck in a very 19th Century type attack. |

 | | Teyss: What a game. Seen before but always a pleasure to review. Each of Black's moves after the 10th deserves an exclamation mark and 13...h5, two. For memo 16...Qe4 is much better than Qf4 also eyeing h4 because in the latter White can survive a bit longer with 17.g4. Included in Game Collection: Fake news |
