| Jun-20-05 | | white pawn: Wow, mate with only a pawn attacking the king. |
 |
| Apr-03-08 | | Knight13: De Vere should've heard the alarm bells ringing when White played 10. f5. But no... |
|
| Jun-05-12 | | Oceanlake: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.... |

 | | sevenseaman: What fantastic chess brains! Stuff from higher up, beats anticipation. |
|
| Jun-05-12 | | consul: The black night in c2 covered e1, making it unaccessible for the white rook. What happens if Black plays 15.  b7 instead? |
|
| Jun-05-12 | | consul: Oohps, i've seen it... is not a longer resistance... |
|
| Jun-05-12 | | Yopo: duplicate? Bird vs Steinitz, 1867 |

 | | mike1: yes, nice ending but what happens after 14... c6??? ... Nxc2 was a bit too much. |

 | | sofouuk: <mike1><what happens after 14... c6???>white plays 15.Bd3, picks up the trapped N, and has a decent game with full compensation for the exchange. 11.Qe4! rather than Qg4 would have given a big advantage, tho |

|
| Jun-05-12 | | randomsac: Bird had some guts using those pawns. Great finish. |

 | | kevin86: Bird has a very similar position with the same mate,but there,he missed a mate in three earlier. |

| Jun-06-12 | | Llawdogg: Kind of a smothered mate with a pawn. |
|

 | | DarthStapler: consul: 15...Bb7 just leads to 16. exd7+ and white wins the queen |
|

 | | Calli: This game is given in Cook's Synopsis of Openings (1874) http://books.google.com/books?id=bj... , but there must be an earlier publication if it is not just an analysis of Bird v Steinitz. |
