Aug-22-03		Honza Cervenka: Very nice game!

Aug-22-03		talmax: Gotta love the Evans Gambit. Almost tempts me to play the Guocco Piano so I can try it - almost!

Aug-22-03		Honza Cervenka: 22.Bxd6 would have won immediately.

Jan-23-04		jjones5050: In "500 Master Games of Chess", by Tartakower/Du Mont, it was noted that, "if 25... K-c8;26. p-f8(Q)ch,RXQ;27. QXR ch, K-c7;28. Q-e7ch, and mate next move." I do not see any such mate. Any ideas what he missed or what I am missing?

Feb-02-04		Honza Cervenka: <jjones5050> 25...Kc8 26.f8=Q+ Rxf8 27.Qxf8+ Kc7 28.Qe7+ Kc8 29.Be6# or 28...Kb6 (this possibility was probably overlooked by annotator, but it changes nothing important) 29.Bc5+ Kb5 (29...Ka6 30.Bc4+ Nb5 31.Qa7#) 30.Nd4+ Ka4 (30...Ka6 31.Qxa7#) 31.Bb3+ Rxb3 32.axb3#.

Feb-02-04		Honza Cervenka: Of course, after 25...Kc8 white could have continued also 26.Qe6+ Kc7 (26...Kd8 27.Qe7+ Kc8 28.Be6#) 27.Qe7+ Kb6 28.Bc5+ with an analogical final to that which was mentioned above.

Jun-17-06		GeauxCool: In 1868 Kolisch met one of the Rothschilds in Vienna, who was so taken by his comination of good manners and good chess that he started him in business, where Kolisch made a fortune. His highest achievement was first prize in the Paris Tournament of 1867 1.5 points ahead of Steinitz. 19.Nxa7!! and (22.Bxd6 was quicker). 25...Qxd5 was forced.-Fine
