Aug-21-04		sneaky pete: Mr.Bird never ceases to amaze me. Here he plays a bona fide grandmaster draw, a century ahead of his time. The event/site description Paris 4pl-plof is very intriguing, as is the designation ECO C77 in the box next to the score.

Feb-26-05		fgh: I agree <sneaky pete>.

Feb-20-08		Knight13: <sneaky pete> I agree also.

Mar-26-08		Chessdreamer: Schlechter vs Duras, 1912

Feb-21-12		paul1959: This score seems wrong: According to all sites I checked on Paris 1878 ,(including this one!) Bird and Mackenzie had one win each in their tournament encounters with Mackenzie winning the two tie-break games to determine the fourth place winner.

Feb-21-12		Calli: <paul1959> You are correct. This game is actually Schlecter-Duras 1912 as Chessdreamer pointed out in 2008.

Nov-08-12		Gypsy: <If this game never existed then why this page is still alive ?> Even forgeries have rights, I suspect. The more interesting question is, why was it ever created? (We probably will never know.)
