Dec-16-06		Rubenus: Blackburne played like Morphy here! Interesting how quickly he manages to win the game by hunting the black queen all over the board.

Feb-13-07		thesonicvision: <Rubenus: Blackburne played like Morphy here!> blackburne played like blackburne here.

Feb-21-07		WarmasterKron: For a start, Morphy was never managed by Mark Hughes.

Feb-22-07		Rubenus: Compare Blackburne vs Wylde, 1875 to Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858 and tell me why Blackburne is so different from Morphy.
