Nov-14-08		sneaky pete: It's surprising, highly amazing and I can't believe it, that this game has so far been unkibitzed. One reason why this gem (already incorporated in 3, soon in 4, game collections) is so unbelievable, amazing and surprising is that neither Von Gottschall nor Albin played at the 6th American Chess Congress, New York, 1889. Another reason why (the original result 0-1) has unfortunately been reversed by the cg.com administrator.

Nov-14-08		Calli: I am shocked that such game which introduced "Von Gottschall's Bazooka" (24.Rf3) should receive so little attention. The Tournament Book commented on 33.Rf8+ "Weiß konnte hier das Matt in 4 Zügen ankündigen." - Der Siebente Kongress Des Deutschen Schachbundes Dresden 1892
