  Honza Cervenka: He's such A Crook to grab my Rook!:-D

38...Kc6 would have been somewhat better.

Dec-12-08  WhiteRook48: A Crook cannot stop a mere pawn from promoting.
Dec-22-08  WhiteRook48: A Crook? No this guy is not me.
"I am not A Rook!"
Jan-28-09  WhiteRook48: he probably said "I have no Rook" in the final position ha ha ha

  FSR: I tried submitting <By Hook or by Crook> for this game, but someone beat me to it.
Jan-22-13  Abdel Irada: A crook and flail might have been suitable by the end of this.
Jan-22-13  diceman: A. Crook, stole the spotlight
at Norwich 1902.
Jan-04-14  dunamisvpm: I suggest intuitively 6...Bb6 even without consideration of one's knowledge about book line.
Jan-04-14  dunamisvpm: Why would you exchange a bishop over a knight without much gain for it. It's basic in chess.
May-18-15  blackburne: No lo pone, pero según el periódico Queenslander de Brisbane, esta partida se jugó durante una sesión de simultáneas dadas por Blackburne
