Jul-07-05		Knight13: Probably a resignation trap? I don't see how White wins here.

Jun-27-06		Jack Kerouac: Obviously the game was resigned due to the unfortunate behavior of the bishops. Or maybe Henry was just Bird-dogging it.....

Jun-27-06		keypusher: I am sure the game was drawn here and the result is wrong.

Jun-27-06		percyblakeney: I've seen a couple of tables over Paris 1878, and they claim that both games between Bird and Englisch were decisive, one win each. Maybe something is wrong with the gamescore: http://xoomer.alice.it/cserica/scac...

Jun-11-07		sneaky pete: It's a draw from round 15 of the 1912 San Sebastian tournament: Spielmann vs J Perlis, 1912.

Jul-09-11		Sem: Actually it should be 0-1. The queenside pawns indicate the right half circle of the 0, while the bishops clearly mark the 1.

Jul-09-11		psmith: Is this Englisch vs Bird, 1878 the actual game from the tournament? Or is it a "friendly"?
