Sep-05-04   RisingChamp: Donhart> I probably didnt see that aspect of it because only a computer would bg5( to delay the mate by one or two moves).Bg5 rxg5 and do u seriously think black is in the game??That move bg5 did nothing except to throw away a bishop.Unless u feel like following up with qg5 and tossing in a queen for good measure.

  tamar: Awright. Stop the puns. What kind of joint do you think this is?
Nov-15-04   morphy234: He could have even promoted to bishop or knight and still got mate! Great game.
May-16-05   aw1988: Three sacrifices makes one exciting game.
Jul-16-05   Tigran Petrosian: Here is another game for dickbrain's wounderful collection, "Velimirovic Attack Blowouts".

  Peligroso Patzer: The White Knight's hop from c3 to d5 for the purpose of interfereing with the Black Queen's activity along the fifth rank reminds me of the following famous game:

Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1974

  WannaBe: The head-bone connected to the neck-bone,
the neck-bone connected to the back-bone
The backbone connected to the thigh-bone
the thighbone connected to the kee-bone
the kneebone connected to the leg bone
the leg bone connected to the foot bone
Sep-29-06   Manic: I have a question. Instead of 12.Bxd4, doesn't white usually play 12.Rxd4 instead? Or is there a difference from this game to other Velimirovic attack games, because generally in this opening Rxd4 is played.
Sep-29-06   Tenderfoot: <morphy234> I think it has to be a double check so that he can't interpose any pieces. Definitely an awesome checkmate.
Sep-29-06   Confuse: <Annie K.> your worst nightmare came true : )
Sep-29-06   Gowe: Good one Confuse. I was laughing when i saw that old post of Sep-04-04. Jesus, i hope in name of god that Annie K don't turn up Chessgames today.

  kevin86: Good news:there is a queen next to the black queen.

Bad news:it's white

Ugly news: there are TWO of them. And -a totally new meaning to MATING!

Why did not Kneebone become a better chess player? No connections...

Ba-Da-boom!

  luzhin: Does anyone really believe that "Kneebone" exists? The absence of a first name gives the game away. Also Browne blundered with his final move. He should, of course, have made it a double discovered rook checkmate with gxf8(R)++

  Jack Kerouac: <luzhin> Kneebone doesn't exist? Is that a knee-jerk reaction?
Dec-07-06   Hot Logic: The event where this game was ostensibly played was the English Championship?!

In which case I wonder if the tournament (or match??) was an invitational.

Feb-24-09   WhiteRook48: why not 24. gxf8=R# or even 24. gxf8=N# or 24. gxf8=B# Of course, I'm just crazy
Mar-18-09   WhiteRook48: please don't break your kneebone

  erwinkru71939: Black forgot his King´s defense. What a checkmate !!!
May-28-09   Jim Bartle: Well, now we know the kneebone is not connected to the brainbone.
